Special Seminar
Kaifeng Bu
"Magic: A New Frontier of Quantum Science"
Tuesday, February 27, 1:30pm

Abstract: Quantum computation is expected to outperform classical computation, yet
understanding the origins of this advantage remains a fundamental challenge. In this talk,
I will focus on the quantum feature, called magic, which can support the quantum
advantage. I will introduce a quantum convolution to test and measure magic. I will also
introduce a coarse-graining map, called the “convolution group”, to perform the
classification of many-body states. Finally, I will discuss the possible future directions
in this framework.
Bio: Kaifeng Bu got his B.S. and Ph.D. from Zhejiang University, and is currently a
postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University. His research focuses on the advantages of
quantum computing and quantum information processing, as well as the interplay of quantum
information with physics, computer science, and mathematics.
