Abstract: The ability to selectively measure and reset qubits in real time during a quantum circuit is a crucial ingredient in most approaches to quantum error correction. I’ll review the quantum computer architecture being pursued at Quantinuum and its technical capabilities, and then will discuss how mid-circuit measurement may enable other more near-term algorithms.
Abstract: The interaction between a peregrine falcon and a dove is visibly non-reciprocal. What happens to the well established framework of phase transitions in non-reciprocal systems far from equilibrium?
Abstract: The long-wavelength response of a gapped many-body system in D spatial dimensions with a Lie group symmetry G to an external gauge field is believed to be described by a Chern-Simons action in dimension D+1. Since the coefficient of the Chern-Simons action is quantized, it is a topological invariant (i.e. is unchanged under deformations of the Hamiltonian which do not close the gap).
Abstract: At low Reynolds numbers, the wind flow in the wake of a single wind turbine is generally not turbulent. However, turbines in wind farms affect each other’s wakes so that a turbulent flow can arise. In the present work, an analogue of this effect for the massless charge carrier flow around obstacles in graphene is outlined.
Abstract: Recent thermal-conductivity measurements evidence a magnetic-field-induced non-Abelian spin liquid phase in the Kitaev material α-RuCl3. In this talk, I will explain how we leverage fermion condensation to propose a series of measurements for electrically detecting the hallmark chiral Majorana edge states and bulk anyons in the spin-liquid phase -- despite the fact that α-RuCl3 is a good Mott insulator.
This meeting is both in-person and Zoom.
