[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] TODAY: Joint Quantum Seminar - Wednesday, March 6, 2019 @ 2:00 - Profs. Irfan Siddiqi

by Dakoulas, Samantha R

Joint Quantum Seminar Wednesday, March 6, 2019 2:00 PM, Jefferson 250 *Please note time change. There will be no 10-minute talk* Prof. Irfan Siddiqi, University of California, Berkeley “Weak Quantum Measurements: From Art to Architecture” Canonical microwave frequency cavity quantum electrodynamical systems can be constructed from superconducting circuits, which thus enable a powerful laboratory for exploring foundational questions in quantum mechanics. When combined with near-quantum-limited photon detection, it is possible to enter the weak measurement regime where the continuous voltage output from the cavity can be used to construct individual quantum trajectories which statistically represent the most likely dynamical evolution of the artificial atom contained therein. Such techniques can be combined with fast feedback to change the measurement observable within the coherence time of the system, allowing one to probe quantities typically inaccessible to classical devices. As an example, I will discuss canonical measurements of the phase of a quantum signal which exceed the sensitivity afforded by heterodyne detection, and whose associated trajectories allow us to verify the acquisition of nearly-purely phase data. Guest Presentation will begin at 2:00 PM (no 10-minute talk) Refreshments will be provided Thank you, Samantha Dakoulas Faculty Assistant to Professors Lukin & Greiner & their groups Department of Physics 17 Oxford St., Lyman 324A Cambridge, MA 02138 P.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] Beyond IID in Information Theory 2019

by Nicole Yunger Halpern

Excellent conference for those working on information theory for small scales and the like. Paper suggestions now welcome. Best, Nicole -- Nicole Yunger Halpern ITAMP Postdoctoral Fellow Harvard-Smithsonian Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (ITAMP) Harvard University Department of Physics nicoleyh.11(a)gmail.com ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Min-Hsiu Hsieh <minhsiuh(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 1, 2019 at 8:00 AM Subject: CFP --- Beyond IID in Information Theory 2019 To: Min-Hsiu Hsieh <Min-Hsiu.Hsieh(a)uts.edu.au>, Marco Tomamichel < marcotom.ch(a)gmail.com>, Shun Watanabe <shunwata(a)cc.tuat.ac.jp> Dear friends and colleagues, The time for the next edition of the workshop "Beyond i.i.d. in Information Theory" is approaching. It will be held at the University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, Australia from 1-5 July 2019, organised by Min-Hsiu Hsieh (chair) and Marco Tomamichel. This workshop is the 7th edition of a series that started with the workshop "Beyond i.i.d. in Information Theory" that was held in Cambridge, 8-11 January 2013. A particular goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both classical and quantum information theory. Topics to be covered in the workshop include (but not limited to) * One-shot information theory and finite block length analysis * Entropic quantities and matrix inequalities * Additivity problems in information theory * Thermodynamics and other resource theories Further information can be found on the website https://www.beyondiid2019.com/ ===== Paper submission ===== To help us select a good programme, we invite the community to make suggestions for talks. Any member of the community can participate, either by nominating someone else with a concrete talk topic, or by submitting his/her own work in the traditional manner. In either case, the nomination or self-nomination should follow the following format. Nominator: Full name, email, affiliation, research interests Talk nominee: Full name, email, affiliation Title: (Please include relevant pointers to full paper) Abstract: It is best to include a description of between half a page and up to two pages, explaining the pertinence of the submission to beyond iid. Note: Entries are to be sent to beyondiid2019(a)gmail.com by 15/04/2019. ===== Important Dates ===== Paper Submission Deadline: 15 April 2019 Notification of Acceptance: 01 May 2019 Registration Ends: 1 June 2019 Workshop: 1-5 July 2019 We will be looking forward to receiving your entries, Best regards, Program Selection Committee Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Marco Tomamichel and Shun Watanabe -- Min-Hsiu Hsieh <https://www.minhsiu.com>, ARC Future Fellow and Associate Professor, Centre for Quantum Software and Information, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
