(English) Weekly Quantum Group Webinar: Abhishek Agarwal, Modelling non-Markovian noise in driven superconducting qubits

Zoom

Title of talk: Modelling non-Markovian noise in driven superconducting qubits. Speaker: Abhishek Agarwal Abstract: Non-Markovian noise can be a significant source of errors in superconducting qubits. We develop gate sequences utilising mirrored pseudoidentities that allow us to characterise and model the effects of non-Markovian noise on both idle and driven qubits. We compare three approaches to modelling …

(English) Quantum Seminar/Webinar: Rivan Rughubar (UCT): Approximating classical kernels on NISQ computers

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

Rivan Rughubar (UCT) Approximating classical kernels on NISQ computers Abstract: The talk will aim to demonstrate how a kernel function can be approximated on a NISQ computer and to demonstrate the limitations of this method. Kernel methods are used throughout classical and quantum machine learning. Over the last few years there has also been much …

(English) Seminar: Prof Nadja Bernardes, Approximating Invertible Maps by Recovery Channels: Optimality and an Analysis of Qudit Channels

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

Title of talk: Approximating Invertible Maps by Recovery Channels: Optimality and an Analysis of Qudit Channels Speaker: Prof Nadja Bernardes (Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil) Abstract: We investigate the problem of reversing quantum dynamics, specifically via optimal Petz recovery maps. We focus on typical decoherence channels, such as dephasing, depolarizing, and amplitude damping. We illustrate how well …

(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 …
