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 …

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 …

Title of talk: An Introduction to Effectus Theory Speaker: Kishan Dayaram (University of Johannesburg, SA) Abstract:  The context of an effectus is a new development in categorical logic which generalizes both classical and quantum logic. An effectus allows for a categorical formulation of quantum mechanics in which the effects of the quantum system are required …

Title of talk: Quantum Computing Enhanced Service Ecosystem for Simulation in Manufacturing Speaker: Rivan Rughubar (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany) Abstract:  Quantum computing and quantum machine learning are still in their early stages but have the potential to cause paradigm shifts in computing and industry. Faster or more accurate numerical simulations can lead to improvements in engineering …
