CQT Colloquium by Giuseppe Carleo, EPFL

Title: Machine-Learning for Many-Body Quantum Physics
Date/Time: 19-Nov, 04:30PM
Venue: Online Event

Abstract:
Machine-learning-based approaches, routinely adopted in cutting-edge industrial applications, are being increasingly embraced to study fundamental problems in science. Many-body physics is very much at the forefront of these exciting developments, given its intrinsic "big-data" nature. In this seminar I will present selected applications to the quantum realm. First, I will discuss how a systematic, and controlled machine learning of the many-body wave-function can be realized. This goal is achieved by a variational representation of quantum states based on artificial neural networks. I will then discuss applications in diverse domains, ranging from open problems in Condensed Matter physics to applications in Quantum Computing. Focusing on the latter case, I will show that there are relevant cases in which machine learning techniques can be already used to classically simulate useful quantum algorithms, using purely classical resources.

CQT Colloquium by Rodney Van Meter, Keio University

Title: Engineering the Quantum Internet
Date/Time: 29-Oct, 04:00PM
Venue: Online via Zoom 

Abstract: Experimental progress toward a general-purpose Quantum Internet is advancing rapidly, but the challenges in building a Quantum Internet extend far beyond having a physical layer that can create entanglement across a distance. Quantum Internet nodes must share management of distributed tomography, errors, entanglement swapping, multiplexing of resources, selection of routes, and more to support application-requested actions for distributed cryptographic functions, quantum sensor networks, and distributed quantum computation. I will introduce our RuleSet-based Quantum Internet architecture and the simulation tools that are enabling us to develop working protocols, and discuss the need for multi-disciplinary organizations to address the broad range of problems. 

About the speaker: Rodney Van Meter received a B.S. in engineering and applied science from the California Institute of Technology in 1986, an M.S. in computer engineering from the University of Southern California in 1991, and a Ph.D. in computer science from Keio University in 2006. His current research centers on quantum computer architecture and quantum networking. Other research interests include storage systems, networking, and post-Moore's Law computer architecture. He is now a Professor of Environment and Information Studies at Keio University's Shonan Fujisawa Campus. He is the Vice Center Chair of Keio's Quantum Computing Center. Dr. Van Meter is a member of AAAS, ACM APS, and IEEE.

CQT Outreach Event

Title: Does Another You Exist in A Parallel Universe?
Date/Time: 31-Oct, 04:30PM
Venue: Sistic Live

Does another ‘you’ exist in a parallel universe? Authors and scientists examine quantum physics concepts in literature and popular media and contemplate how plausible these versions of reality could be. This session is co-presented with the Centre for Quantum Technologies.

QTX-4 | Quantum Technologies in Space

Date/Time: 30-Oct - 30-Oct
Venue: Online Event

The event is co-hosted by the Centre for Quantum Technologies, NUS, and the QTX research forum – led by Alexander Ling of NUS and Markus Krutzik of Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibnizinstitut für Höchstfrequenztechnik. The forum has previously met in Singapore (2018), Germany (2018) and UK (2019).

The focus will be on quantum communications and the technologies that facilitate delivery from cubesats, and other specific technologies and system issues, e.g. SWaP constraints, and space qualification – from components to missions.

The workshop will take place on 30 October virtually:

CQT Webinars Series on Quantum Computation and Quantum Simulation by QT Webinars Series on Quantum Computation and Quantum Simulation

Title: Beyond classical computation with a quantum processor, a look under the hood
Date/Time: 23-Oct, 01:00PM
Venue: Online via zoom

Abstract:
The promise of quantum computers is that certain computational tasks might be executed exponentially faster on a quantum processor than on a classical processor. In 2019, we reported [1] the use of a processor with programmable superconducting qubits to create quantum states on 53 qubits, corresponding to a computational state-space of dimension 253 (about 1016). Measurements from repeated experiments sample the resulting probability distribution, which we verify using classical simulations. Our Sycamore processor takes about 200 seconds to sample one instance of a quantum circuit a million times—our benchmarks indicate that the equivalent task for a classical supercomputer would take approximately 10,000 years. Time permitting, I will discuss some of our more recent results.

CQT Talk - Quantum Machine Learning Journal Club Talk by José Ignacio Latorre, CQT

Title: One qubit as a universal approximant
Date/Time: 29-Oct, 10:00AM
Venue: Online via zoom

Abstract: The outcome probability of a single qubit quantum circuit can describe any function f(x), provided x is re-uploaded multiple times as parameter of the gates. This can be verified experimentally. I'll also discuss other ideas related to quantum singular value decomposition as well as quantum attacks to crypto protocols.
