(English) NITheCS Colloquium: The role of intermolecular interactions in chemical processes and materials science
Title: NITheCS Colloquium: The role of intermolecular interactions in chemical processes and materials science Speaker: Prof Catharine Esterhuysen (Stellenbosch University) Abstract: The most challenging aspect in understanding the properties of materials in the solid state is to identify the role that intermolecular interactions play in their behaviour. For instance, molecules ("guests") are taken up into …

(English) Quantum@SUN Seminar/Webinar: Dr Ryan Sweke (AIMS, SU), Should we use parameterized quantum circuits for machine learning?
Should we use parameterized quantum circuits for machine learning? Abstract: Recent years have seen an incredible interest in the use of parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) for machine learning tasks. As of yet however, it remains unclear to what extent one can use PQC based algorithms to obtain a meaningful advantage over state-of-the-art classical methods. In …

(English) Webinar: Time Operator from Parametrization Invariance and Implications for Cosmology, Prof Nikolaos Dimakis (University of the Frontier, Chile)
Stellenbosch University, Physics Department School of Data Science and Computational Thinking, StellenboschABSTRACT In this talk we review the basic symmetries of parameterization invariant systems that describe the motion of particles in curved spacetimes. Motivated by the analogy of such systems to cosmological Lagrangians, we attempt to address the problem of time in quantum cosmology. To this end, we introduce a time operator which is canonically conjugate …
