Entanglement: from theory to quantum computing Francesco Petruccione (Stellenbosch University and NITheCS) Abstract: The Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 was awarded to Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger for conducting groundbreaking experiments using entangled quantum states. In this lecture, we … Weiterlesen →

The Quantum Unconference brings to Stellenbosch some of my UKZN students. We will go through the drafts of their papers and their theses.

The Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) is a quantum circuit model inspired by the architecture of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CNNs are successful because they do not need manual feature design and can learn high-level features from raw data. Neural … Weiterlesen →

Abstract: The success of modern deep learning hinges on the ability to train neural networks at scale. Through clever reuse of intermediate information, backpropagation facilitates training through gradient computation at a total cost roughly proportional to running the function, rather … Weiterlesen →

Title of talk: Universal cooling dynamics toward a quantum critical point Speaker: Emma King (present affiliation: University of Saarland, Saarbrücken, Germany; the work I will present was done at Stellenbosch University, Stellenbosch, South Africa).
