(English) Seminar: Dean Brand, Markovian Noise Modelling and Parameter Extraction Framework for Quantum Devices

Stellenbosch University, Physics Department School of Data Science and Computational Thinking, Stellenbosch

Title of talk: Markovian Noise Modelling and Parameter Extraction Framework for Quantum Devices Speaker: Dean Brand (Stellenbosch University, South Africa) Abstract: In recent years, Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers have been widely used as a test bed for quantum dynamics. This work provides a new hardware-agnostic framework for modelling the Markovian noise and dynamics of …

(English) Seminar: Dr Tzula Propp, Decoherence Limiting the Cost to Simulate an Anharmonic Oscillator

Zoom

Title of talk: Decoherence Limiting the Cost to Simulate an Anharmonic Oscillator Speaker: Dr Tzula Propp (Delft University of Technology, Netherlands) Abstract: Decoherence increases the efficiency with which we simulate the quantum dynamics of an anharmonic oscillator governed by the Kerr effect. As decoherence washes out the fine-grained subPlanck structure associated with phase-space quantum interference …

(English) Seminar: Prof Marco Merkli, Approach to equilibrium of an optical quantum field mode scattering from a non-equilibrium quantum reservoir

Stellenbosch University, Physics Department School of Data Science and Computational Thinking, Stellenbosch

Title of talk: Approach to equilibrium of an optical quantum field mode scattering from a non-equilibrium quantum reservoir Speaker: Prof Marco Merkli (Memorial University, Canada) Abstract: Rigorous derivations of the approach of individual elements of large isolated systems to a state of thermal equilibrium, starting from arbitrary initial states, are exceedingly rare. This is particularly true …
