CUA Seminar: Wes Campbell – Applications of Angular Momentum in Atomic Physics for Quantum Science

Location:Harvard Ory Forum (301 A/B) in the Goel Building (60 Oxford)
Wes Campbell, UCLA
Ten Minute Talk:"Quantum algorithms in high-dimensional metastable state manifolds" by Xiaoyang Shi, MIT
One of the unique things that we can do in atomic physics is interact with objects that are in angular momentum eigenstates.  In fact, this is now so routine that it is easy for us to lose track of how exotic this is.  This seminar will explore some of the ways that quantum states of angular...

CUA Seminar: Aleksander Kubica – Layer codes as partially self-correcting quantum memories

Location:MIT 4-270
Aleksander Kubica, Yale University
Ten Minute Talk:"Quantum sensing" by Garrett Heller, MIT
Self-correcting quantum memories provide passive protection of quantum information from noise, eliminating the need for active error correction. In this talk, I will discuss layer codes, a new class of 3D stabilizer codes that achieve optimal scaling of code parameters and energy barrier, making them promising candidates for self-correcting quantum memories. I will first outline...

CUA Seminar: Sarang Gopalakrishnan – Surprises in the weak-noise limit

Location:Harvard Ory Forum (301 A/B) in the Goel Building (60 Oxford)
Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Princeton University
Ten Minute Talk:"TBD" by David Spierings, MIT
The coherent quantum dynamics of large systems is exponentially hard to simulate on a classical computer. However, noisy dynamics is asymptotically easy. Many physically relevant quantities (such as diffusion constants in generic systems) behave smoothly in the zero-noise limit, so the noiseless value can be efficiently computed by extrapolation: a strongly interacting many-body system “acts...
