Harvard Quantum Information Group Meeting Thursday at 4:30 pm

by Cotler, Jordan Saul

Hi everyone, We are restarting the Harvard Quantum Information Group Meeting this semester. The first meeting will be held this Thursday, March 2nd at 4:30 pm in Jefferson 250. Anthony (Chi-Fang) Chen from Caltech will be speaking. Title: Worst-case and average-case separation in quantum simulation and quantum dynamics Abstract: Physical Hamiltonians are often a sum over k-body (k-local) terms. In this talk, we draw connections between this locality and the ubiquitous separation between worst-case and average-case properties. We present two examples: quantum simulation using product formula enjoys an average-case vs. worst-case speedup; quantum dynamics in power-law interacting systems is qualitatively different for the finely-tuned states and the typical states. The main technical framework uses "uniform smoothness" for matrix martingales to exploit the k-locality structure. Hope to see you all there. Sincerely, Jordan Cotler

by Ploucha, Clare

From: "Intellectual and Cultural Fellows, GSAS Student Center" <gsasintellectualandculturalfellow(a)fas.harvard.edu> Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 10:00 AM To: GSAS Student Center Intellectual and Cultural Fellows <gsasintellectualandculturalfellow(a)fas.harvard.edu> Subject: [Student/faculty opportunity] Monthly interdisciplinary presentations and conversations at GSAS Hello! I hope this email finds you well. We're the GSAS Student Center Intellectual and Cultural Fellows<https://engage.gsas.harvard.edu/organization/gsasstudentcenterintellectuala…> and are writing about a great opportunity we hope you can pass along to your students and faculty. Every month, we organize a mini symposium where faculty, postdocs, and students present their work and engage in interdisciplinary conversations over wine and cheese--we call them Fireside Symposia (after the historic Fireside Room in Lehman Hall where they're held). It's a great opportunity for both students--especially advanced PhD students on the job market--to practice talking about their research in an informal setting and for faculty to interact with students. We also provide presenters with dinner before each Symposium. Interested people can nominate themselves or someone else to present at an upcoming Symposium here<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bit.ly_ic-5Ffs-5Fnom&d…>.

HQI Staff Updates

by Ploucha, Clare

Dear HQI Community, I write today to update you on some changes to the HQI staff team. I am pleased to announce that Samantha Dakoulas has joined the HQI as Strategic Program Manager. Samantha comes to us from the Physics Department, where she supported the Lukin and Greiner labs for more than five years. In her new role, Samantha will manage the planning, implementation, and day-to-day administrative support for major collaborative projects and partnerships involving multiple organizations in industry, academia, and government. Her current portfolio includes the AWS Center for Quantum Networking’s research alliance with HQI and the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms. It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Ann Quaicoe will depart her role as HQI Staff Assistant on February 10. Ann will be joining UMASS Memorial - Community Healthlink as a project manager for the Worcester Crisis Co-Response Team. As a Community Liaison, she will be working to forge partnerships and connections with local nonprofit organizations, hospitals, and local business. In addition to her work with HQI, Ann has been in graduate school earning her Master’s in Health Administration. While we will miss Ann very much, we are excited for her to take a new opportunity in her chosen field. We will begin a search for a new HQI Staff Assistant over the next few weeks. While we work to fill the position, please direct any messages you would typically send to Ann to HQIDirectors(a)harvard.edu<mailto:HQIDirectors@harvard.edu>. Finally, as of February 1, the HQI offices have moved from the Maxwell Dworkin 111 suite to the third floor of Maxwell Dworkin. Please feel free to stop by with any questions for our staff, or just to say hi! * MD 347 – Director of Programs (Ploucha) * MD 349 – Director of Education & Outreach (Sule) * MD 351 – Staff Assistant (Quaicoe) & Strategic Program Manager (Dakoulas) Best, Clare -- Clare Ploucha Director of Programs Harvard Quantum Initiative 33 Oxford Street, Maxwell Dworkin 111 Cambridge, MA 02138

Best Regards, Ling Integrated Photonics for Quantum Interconnects Prof. Marko Loncar, Harvard University Abstract: Optical interconnects, empowered by a variety of integrated photonic platforms, form the backbone of modern communication systems, including tele-com, data-com and microwave-photonics. Similarly, integrated photonic enabled quantum interconnects will be crucial for realization of quantum networks. In my talk I will discuss quantum photonic platforms based on thin film lithium niobate and diamond and their applications in realization of quantum repeaters and quantum transducers. The former are important for the development of quantum internet while the latter will enable modular quantum computing. About Speaker: Marko Lončar is Tiantsai Lin Professor of Electrical Engineering at Harvard's John A Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), as well as Harvard College Professor. Lončar is expert in nanophotonics and nanofabrication, and his current research interests include quantum and nonlinear nanophotonics, quantum optomechanics, high-power optics, and nanofabrication.
