[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] Fwd: [iQuISE] Fall Opener TUESDAY 09/19 - Ric Manenti - Rigetti Computing

by Aram Harrow

Dear quanta, Grad students especially may be interested in the iQuISE seminars and other activities. See below for their first talk. To get on the list, you should write Sara Mouradian <smouradi(a)mit.edu>. In general I won't forward these announcements to the qip list (except maybe 1-2 times per year, so new people are aware of iquise), so be sure to subscribe if you want to stay in the loop. aram ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sara <smouradi(a)mit.edu> Date: Tue, Sep 12, 2017 at 8:15 PM Subject: [iQuISE] Fall Opener TUESDAY 09/19 - Ric Manenti - Rigetti Computing To: iquise-associates(a)mit.edu Hello all, I hope you had a great summer, even without weekly iQuISE seminars! We'll be kicking of this semester's seminar series with a special *Tuesday talk next week in Grier A (34-401A)*. Ric Manenti from Rigetti Computing will talk about recent theoretical work on building high-connectivity lattices with superconducing qubits. See below for the full abstract. As always, pizza will be served at *11:45* and the talk will start at *12:00. *If you would like to talk to him about working at Rigetti, his research, or anything else please sign up here. <http://signup.mit.edu/Rigetti2> As always, email me if you are not from MIT and feel free to sign up for the waiting list - we'll do our best to accommodate everyone. We'll start our standard *Thursday* talks next week as well, with a talk by Markus Kesselring in 26-214 on 09/20. Please spread the word to new (and old) grad students, post-docs, and undergrads. --------------------- Finally, we're going to try something new this semester - We are going to try using *Slack* for the iQuISE community. Please feel free to make new channels, invite friends, have open discussions and start new collaborations! Have a speaker you'd love to hear? Tell us in the #speakers channel! Find an interesting paper? Share it on #papers! Let us know how we are doing on #feedback. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! Any valid @mit address is automatically approved, but we will accept a broader community as well. Below is the link to join - feel free to share! https://join.slack.com/t/iquise/signup ---------------------- Thanks, iQuISE Leadership Team iQuISE Seminar Series *Parametric Entangling Gates for Quantum Computing* *TUESDAY, September 19th 2017* 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM, ROOM 34-401A An important requirement for scalable quantum computers based on superconducting qubits is the availability of fast entangling gates that maintain good fidelities in a high-connectivity lattice. We discuss a family of such gate operations that are activated by radio-frequency flux pulses applied to tunable transmon qubits. By parametrically modulating the frequency of the transmon, we actuate resonant exchange of excitations with a statically coupled neighboring transmon. The operation is highly selective and does not require mediator qubits or resonator modes, and is therefore ideal for scalable, high-connectivity lattices. In this talk I will discuss the implementation of this gate scheme on an 8-qubit chip. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

The groups will be financed from central funds. *We ask the institutes to communicate this announcement appropriately*. If interested, candidates are also encouraged to participate in the Tenure Track Cooperation Programme with the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Tenure track options may also possible with other universities on an individual basis. More general information on the programme is available in the *Organisationshandbuch* (VI.02.03) of the MPG: https://ohb.mpg.de/_mprg <https://ohb.mpg.de/_layouts/15/WopiFrame2.aspx?sourcedoc=%7b9E54212F-0027-4…> *Explanations*: After deliberations in the Presidential Advisory Committee of the MPG on May 03, 2017, the President has decided to conduct a new public call for centrally announced Max Planck Research Groups (MPRG). Financing will be ensured by means of central funds. The MPG is aiming at increasing the number of female scientists in leading positions. We would therefore like to explicitly ask you to draw the attention of suitable young female scientists to the public call and to encourage them to apply. We point out that the acquisition of a new MPRG does not justify construction measures, and that costs exceeding the fixed central funding per group have to be covered by the institute receiving the MPRG. Start of funding is earliest at the beginning of 2019 (with a lead time of up to three months). The public call will take place jointly for all three Scientific Sections. Subsequently, the candidates will be asked to choose a Section in advance of submitting an application. A respective announcement will be placed in selected international job markets as well as on suitable online platforms starting September 18, 2017. Accompanying information for applicants including references to the joint MPG/TUM tenure track programme will be available on the Internet at http://www.mprg.mpg.de in due course. *Zusammenfassung:* Zwischen 18.

Die MPG ist daran interessiert, die Anzahl von Wissenschaftlerinnen in Leitungspositionen zu erhöhen. Wir möchten Sie deshalb nachdrücklich bitten, insbesondere geeignete Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen auf die Ausschreibung aufmerksam zu machen und zu einer Bewerbung zu ermutigen. Wir weisen darauf hin, dass Baumaßnahmen mit der Einwerbung einer neuen MPRG nicht begründet werden können und Kosten, welche die festgelegte zentrale Finanzierung einer Gruppe übersteigen vom aufnehmenden Institut zu tragen sind. Der Förderbeginn der Gruppen kann frühestens zum Jahresanfang 2019 (mit einer Vorlaufphase von bis zu 3 Monaten) erfolgen. Die Ausschreibung findet gemeinsam für alle drei Sektionen statt; anschließend müssen sich die Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten für eine Sektion zur Bewerbung entscheiden. Eine entsprechende Anzeige wird ab 18. September 2017 in ausgewählten internationalen Jobbörsen sowie auf geeigneten Online-Plattformen geschaltet.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] ITAMP lunch seminar - Giuseppe Calajo, TU Vienna (September 14th)

by Hannes Pichler

ITAMP Lunch Seminar Speaker: Giuseppe Calajo (Vienna) Date: Thursday, September 14th Time: 12:00-1:00 pm Includes Pizza. Title: Atom-light interactions in slow-light waveguide QED Abstract: Slow-light waveguide QED refers to a regime where the maximal photonic group velocity is significantly reduced compared to free space. Such conditions could be achieved in one-dimensional photonic periodic structures such as photonic crystals, coupled-resonator arrays, modulated fibres, etc... In this talk I will describe the main features of atom-light interactions in this slow-light regime. In the first part I will discuss the bound states formed by an atom and a localized photonic excitation that represent the continuum analog of the familiar dressed states in single-mode cavity QED. The extension to the multi-photons and multi-atoms case is also considered. In the second part I will describe the coupling of moving atoms to such slow-light waveguide in the regime where the atomic velocities are comparable to the effective speed of light. In this case, the interplay between a velocity-induced directionality and the emergence of new divergencies in the photonic density of states gives rise to a range of novel phenomena and nonperturbative effects in the emission of photons and the resulting photon-mediated interactions between moving atoms. Location: B-106 @ Center for Astrophysics (60 Garden Street) Directions: After entering the lobby of the CfA, turn right to enter the hallway of the B building. In the hallway, turn right again, B-106 will be at the end of the hallway on the left side.

The seminar will be held in the *Duboc room 4-331* Please see the details of Xueda’s talk below. *Title:* *Entanglement hamiltonian evolution during thermalization in conformal field theory* *Abstract:* I will introduce how the entanglement hamiltonian and entanglement spectrum evolve in time during thermalization in a conformal field theory after a quantum quench. Based on conformal mappings, the exact form of entanglement hamiltonian and entanglement spectrum can be obtained at arbitrary time. I will also introduce how the flows generated by entanglement hamiltonian in Minkowski spacetime provide us information on entanglement propagation and thermalization in a subsystem.
