[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] ITAMP lunch seminar - Lawrence Cheuk, Harvard (December 13th)

by Zhu, Bihui

*Speaker: *Lawrence Cheuk (Harvard) *Date:* Thursday, December 13th *Time:* 12:00-1:00 pm Includes Pizza. *Title: *Ultracold Molecules in Optical Tweezers *Abstract: *I will describe some of our recent work in direct laser cooling and trapping of CaF molecules. We have developed new techniques to laser-cool optically trapped molecules well below the Doppler limit, and have demonstrated a vastly improved detection scheme that makes possible non-destructive high-fidelity imaging of trapped single molecules. Very recently, using these methods, we have loaded and imaged single CaF molecules trapped in optical tweezers. In the future, by rearranging these traps, defect-free tweezer arrays of ultracold molecules can be created, providing a bottom-up approach in assembling interacting many-body systems molecule-by-molecule. This approach is also extendable to many other molecules, including larger polyatomic ones, which could be ideally suited for molecular qubits or for searches of beyond-Standard-Model physics. *Location: *B-106 @ Center for Astrophysics (60 Garden Street <https://maps.google.com/?q=60+Garden+Street&entry=gmail&source=g>) *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.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] QIP seminar, Nov 30, Shruti Puri

by Aram Harrow

Shruti Puri (Yale) QIP Seminar @ MIT, 30-Nov-2018 1:30PM, 6C-402 Title: Quantum Error Correction with Biased Noise Cat-Qubits Abstract Many physical systems exhibit error channels that are strongly biased, that is, one type of error dominates the channel. Naively, in this case error correction becomes much easier and more hardware efficient. However, maintaining the bias while performing gates which do not commute with the dominant error is not possible with two-dimensional systems. In this talk, I will demonstrate a way to circumvent this using the non-trivial topology of a continuous family of Schrödinger cat-state qubits. These bosonic qubits can be experimentally realized in a driven non-linear (Kerr) oscillator and exhibit a phase-flip rate that is exponentially suppressed relative to the bit-flip rate. The phase of the drive provides a continuous parameter that permits topologically-protected realization of CNOT gates in a bias-preserving manner. I will present all the bias-preserving operations possible with these cat qubits and discuss how these can lead to efficient quantum error correction codes. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip

Please forward this along to anyone else who may be interested in the topic. Speaker: Albert Werner Title: Tensor network representations from the geometry of entangled states Time and Location: 5:30pm, Thu Dec 6, Jefferson 356 Abstract: Tensor network states provide successful descriptions of strongly correlated quantum systems with applications ranging from condensed matter physics to cosmology. Any family of tensor network states possesses an underlying entanglement structure given by a graph of maximally entangled states along the edges that identify the indices of the tensors to be contracted. Recently, more general tensor networks have been considered, where the maximally entangled states on edges are replaced by multipartite entangled states on plaquettes. Both the structure of the underlying graph and the dimensionality of the entangled states influence the computational cost of contracting these networks. Using the geometrical properties of entangled states, we provide a method to construct tensor network representations with smaller effective bond dimension. We illustrate our method with the resonating valence bond state on the kagome lattice. Hope to see you there!

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] ITAMP lunch seminar - Valentin Kasper, Harvard University (December 6th)

by Zhu, Bihui

*Speaker: *Valentin Kasper (Harvard University) *Date:* Thursday, December 6th *Time:* 12:00-1:00 pm Includes Pizza. *Title: *An effective description of Ramsey tunnel-coupled 1D Bose gases via the Pokrovsky-Talapov model *Abstract: *The high flexibility of ultracold atoms allows for the design, control and thorough investigation of quantum matter. In this work we consider two one-dimensional Ramsey tunnel-coupled Bose gases and elaborate on its relation to the Prokrovsky-Talapov model. Further, we study the ground state with variational wave-functions and explore the experimental relevant finite system size effects. Finally, we discuss possible quench protocols in order to study the non-equilibrium evolution of the Pokrovsky-Talapov model and predict experimental relevant quantities such as the phase and the density.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] two talks on Monday by Martin Savage on nuclear physics and quantum computing

by Aram Harrow

Dear quanta, Martin Savage (U Washington) is giving two talks on Monday: the LNS seminar at 2pm and the LNS colloquium at 4pm. I don't have titles/abstracts yet and will write again when I do. The 2pm talk is on entanglement in nuclear physics and the 4pm talk is more about the big picture of how quantum computing can be useful for nuclear physics (warning: with atarget audience of nuclear physicists). aram _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
