Abstract: It is well-known that interacting fermions are difficult to simulate on quantum computers because of the sign problem. It is less widely appreciated that simulations of models containing bosons can also be difficult—unless the hardware contains native bosonic degrees of freedom. The ability of superconducting quantum processors to control and make quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements of individual microwave photons is a powerful resource for quantum simulation, especially for simulation of condensed matter models and lattice gauge theories containing bosons.

Wed, Apr 9 2025, 4 - 5pm

Abstract: Ultrafast sciences and technologies are founded on the principles of ultrashort-pulse nonlinear optics. Until now, their discrete and bulky nature has hindered the utilization of their vast functionalities for many applications, ranging from sensing to computing and quantum information processing.

Abstract: Field massive stars are more easily identified and studied than those in crowded cluster environments. While some massive stars may form in relative isolation, most are ejected from clusters via dynamical processes and supernova kicks in binary systems. Since both mechanisms are driven by binarity in the massive star population, field stars and their kinematics probe the effects of binarity, which can strongly influence stellar evolution by the tr
