CUbit Quantum Seminar
Systems Engineering for Quantum Computers
Abstract: Quantum computing has entered a compelling scientific era as now quantum algorithms can be run on multiple physical systems.
Many-body physics and self-organization with atoms and photons
Abstract: Dissipation and fluctuations are known to be sources of order in complex non-linear systems formed by many agents, as they lead to the generation of self-organized spatial or temporal structures. However, dissipation is considered to produce loss of coheren
Fracton Dynamics
Abstract: I will introduce a new class of quantum states of matter, known as ‘fracton phases.’ I will explain how these phases provide a new frontier for non-equilibrium quantum dynamics, offering novel routes to ergodicity breaking, and new classes of hydrodynamic phenomena. I will also comment on how insights gleaned from the study of fractons can be applied to quantum dynamics in broader contexts.

Ultrafast and ultracold quantum simulator/computer with attosecond precision
Abstract: Many-body correlations govern a variety of important quantum phenomena including the emergence of superconductivity and magnetism in condensed matter as well as chemical reactions in liquids. Understanding quantum many-body systems is thus one of the central goals of modern sciences and technologies. Here we demonstrate a new pathway towards this goal by generating a strongly correlated ultracold Rydberg gas with a broadband ultrashort laser pulse.
