relevant talk this afternoon ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ryan Higgins <higginsr(a)mit.edu> Date: Wed, May 13, 2020 at 2:17 PM Subject: [Outside Talk]: CMSA Colloquium: Mikhail Lukin (Harvard) @ 4:30 PM, ZOOM To: Please note that this is Harvard’s zoom talk. *Speaker*: Mikhail Lukin (Harvard) *Time*: May 13, Wednesday, 16:30-17:30 (4:30pm EST) *Location*: Online via Zoom (https://harvard.zoom.us/j/952543678) *Title*: Exploring New Frontiers of Quantum Science with Programmable Atom Arrays *Abstract*: We will discuss recent work at a new scientific interface between many-body physics and quantum information science. Specifically, we will describe the advances involving programmable, coherent manipulation of quantum many-body systems using atom arrays excited into Rydberg states. Within this system we performed quantum simulations of one dimensional spin models, discovered a new type of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics associated with the so-called many body scars and created large-scale entangled states. We will also describe the most recent developments that now allow the control over 200 atoms in two-dimensional arrays. Ongoing efforts to study exotic many-body phenomena and to realize and test quantum optimization algorithms within such systems will be discussed. For security reasons, you will have to show your full name to join the meeting. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
