CUA Seminar: Vedika Khemani – Topological quantum spin glass order: a new route to quantum memory

Location:Harvard Ory Forum (301 A/B) in the Goel Building (60 Oxford)

Vedika Khemani, Stanford

Ten Minute Talk:"Approximately-symmetric neural networks for simulating exotic many-body systems" by DinhDuy Vu, Harvard

There is a deep connection between ordered phases of matter and models for noise-robust computing and memory in information theory. In particular, the presence of a passive quantum memory is generally associated with a low-temperature thermodynamic phase with thermally stable topological order, which is only known to exist in dimensions D >= 4. I will introduce a...
