Programmable Quantum Simulators Meet Quantum Chemistry

In an interdisciplinary collaborative effort, a team of CUA members in the Yelin, Lukin, and Yao groups joined forces with computational quantum chemists in Martin Head-Gordon’s group (UC Berkeley) to develop a novel approach to simulate quantum properties of molecules and materials on state-of-the-art atomic quantum processors. Quantum chemistry is seen as a promising potential...

Brain-inspired quantum machine learning for decision-making, entanglement witnessing, time-reversal

Quantum computing promises to enhance machine learning algorithms. However, implementing these advantages often relies on either fault-tolerant quantum computers not yet available, or on decoherence-limited, variational quantum circuits which may experience training bottlenecks. Thus, currently available noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices thwart quantum advantages in machine learning algorithms. Recently, quantum machine learning architectures have emerged...

New phase transition in the standard model of quantum optics

Proposed in 1954 by Robert H. Dicke, the Dicke `spin-boson’ model is among the most successful paradigms to describe the interaction of light and matter. Modeling the coupling of an ensemble of spins or atoms to a harmonic oscillator, it is thus sometimes referred to as the “standard model of quantum optics.” As discovered in...
