Prof. Andras Gilyen: "Exponential advantage of adiabatic quantum computation with no sign problem"

Weekly seminar

27 May 2021

17:30

We demonstrate the possibility of (sub)exponential quantum speedup via a quantum algorithm that follows an adiabatic path of a gapped Hamiltonian with no sign problem. This strengthens the superpolynomial separation recently proved by Hastings.

Prof. Brian Swingle: Information Scrambling in Complex Quantum Systems

Weekly seminar

20 May 2021

17:30

I will describe recent progress in the study of information scrambling driven by new experimental possibilities and by a remarkable convergence of ideas in many-body physics, information, and gravity.

17:30

Abstract: Coherent errors in a quantum system can, in principle, build up much more rapidly than incoherent errors, accumulating as the square of the number of qubits in the system rather than linearly. I will characterize the types of channels that can exhibit such behavior and present a simple pr

Universal quantum computers are potentially an ideal setting for simulating emergent quantum many-body phenomena that are out of reach for classical computers. Here we discuss two applications to the study of topologically ordered systems: First, we represent the ground states of Hamiltonians using

Weekly seminar

04 Mar 2021

16:00

Photonics is the platform of choice to build a modular, easy-to-network quantum computer operating at room temperature. However, no concrete architecture has been presented so far that exploits both the advantages of qubits encoded into states of light and the modern tools for their generation.

Prof. David Schuster: "Building materials from microwave photons"

Weekly seminar

18 Feb 2021

16:30

The study of condensed matter systems in electronic systems within solid-state materials has a long history.
More recently, it has become possible to realize synthetic systems out of controllable components in ultracold atom or photonic systems.

Who Moved My Atom?

11 Nov 2024

An experimental setup built at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates the transfer of atoms from one place to another through quantum tunneling between optical tweezers. Led by Prof. Yoav Sagi and doctoral student Yanay Florshaim from the Solid State Institute, the research was published in Science Advances.

How does light propagate in integrated circuits on chips?

Researchers at the Technion are answering this question and paving the way to new applications in communication, imaging, and quantum computing. The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using..

Yuval Shagam won an ERC grant

Assistant Professor Yuval Shagam from the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry is a member of the Helen Diller Quantum Center. He focuses on understanding molecular chirality: a molecule or ion that cannot be superposed on its mirror image. Such molecules are often distinguished as either “right-handed” or “left-handed.” Molecular chirality plays a central role in many fields, ranging from reaction dynamics to drug development. Molecules of opposite-handedness, known as enantiomers, can have different smells and different medicinal properties among other things.
