To the recorded seminar  In the presence of strong interactions, electrons in condensed matter systems can behave hydrodynamically thereby exhibiting classical fluid phenomena such as vortices and Poiseuille flow. While in most conductors large screening effects minimize electron-electron interact

Chiral, one-dimensional (1D) edge channels in the quantum Hall (QH) effect guide electrons dissipationless. Using quantum point contacts (QPCs) as beamsplitters, these 1D channels can be split and recombined, enabling interference of propagating electron wave functions.

In this talk I will offer an overview of my Oxford group’s recent work targetting NISQ (noisy intermediate scale quantum) devices. This is an area of tremendous interest at the moment as we are starting to see quantum devices at, or beyond, the practical limits of simulation power of today’s supercomputers. But of course the ability to build a machine that a conventional computer cannot simulate may be a long way from building something useful!
