We invite all colleagues interested in open quantum systems and quantum information to the upcoming seminar by Frederik vom Ende from Freie Universität Berlin (please see the title and abstract below). The seminar will take place next Thursday, October 10th, at 13:00 in P35-PS439. Lunch will be provided on-site. Quantum-Dynamical Semigroups and the Church of …
It is a true pleasure to invite you to a seminar with our guest researchers Yves Rezus. Yves is spending this academic year on sabbatical and has chosen to come to us! Do come and listen! Abstract: Encounters with single-quantum emitters Yves Rezus Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) Single-quantum emitters are the smallest possible …
This Friday, 28th of June, we have the pleasure of hosting Anders Kvellestad, from the University of Oslo, who gave us an introduction to QBism! That is a relatively new interpretation of quantum mechanics that emphasizes the role of the observer in defining quantum states. QBism, or Quantum Bayesianism, interprets quantum probabilities as personal beliefs …
From 9th to 12th of June, we had the pleasure of hosting a little workshop on atoms and lasers – and a couple of other things too. This was put together in connection with a visit from our esteemed colleges from Warsaw University, prof. Katarzyna Krajewska (picture), prof. Jerzy Kaminski (prince George amongst friends) and …
Bridging quantum theory and gravitation is a great and mind-thrilling challenge. Non-commutative geometry is considered to be a candidate for such a bridge. This mathematical concept integrates quantum principles like the non-commutativity of operators into the fabric of spacetime. We gained insights into this fascinating topic last Friday, April 12, from a talk by our …
Until recently we were not aware about ongoing quantum initiatives at the Norwegian Metrology Service (Justervesenet – JV). But then we got a pleasent e-mail from Susmit Kumar from JV’s Electricity group informing us about their mandate regarding accurate SI values of voltage, resistance, and current. During a very pleasent day-long meetup Thursday 11th of …
It was a true pleasure when the Hub was contacted by Arnstein Wee, from the Stavanger-branch of Norges tekniske vitenskapsakademi, the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences. He wanted to hear more about quantum computing. Of course, asking a quantum hubber whether she or he would like to talk quantum, is a bit like asking “is …
It is a pleasure to invite to this years first Quantum seminar. Perdo Ribero from the University of Lisbon is presently our guest at the Hub. Upcoming Monday, the 22nd, he will tell us a bit about one of his research interests, namely Random matrices on dissipative quantum dynamics Time and place: Room PS523 in …
November 7th to 9th we had the pleasure of hosting a November School on Quantum Computing. At the risk of appearing cocky: Beforehand we were very proud of the program we had put together. And the lecturers did not let us down! Several aspects of quantum computing were addressed. To name a few: The lecturers …
Our visiting researcher Maksym Teslyk is presenting work which is part of his Ph.D. dissertation. It relates to both classical and quantum physical information theory and to general relativity. The picture is Kip Thorne’s black hole visualization from the movie Interstellar. Abstract: A spherical system of mass M is represented as a set of Unruh horizons. The approach …
Tuesday Nov. 17th we have the pleasure of hearing Noah Oldfield, from Simula Research Lab, presenting results and research question related to his ongoing project. It involves software testing on actual quantum computers. See the abstract below for more details. Quantum program outputs enable the development of unique quality assurance techniques. Our research focuses on …
Sobolev space formulation of density-functional theory: Solving the v-representability problem. 14th September 13:00, room PS340, building P35. Density-functional theory is one of the principal methods in physics, chemistry and materials science used for calculating properties of many-body systems based on their electronic structure. It rests on a reformulation of the explicit energy expression in terms …
August 7th we had the pleasure of welcoming researchers from Equinor to our hub. A group of strong researchers, including mathematicians, physicists and software engineers, have spent significant time and effort looking into the quantum opportunities for their company. The Hub’s own Aleksandar Davidov shared promising results on quantum boosted predictions and optimization for Ruter …
Monday May 19th we had the pleasure of having Justin Wells visiting our hub. He gave a very interesting presentation on his work within experimental condensed matter physics. It spent quite widely – ranging from implementing qubits in silicon to magnetic properties – and how they are related to ducklings. Despite this rather wide scope, …
Friday June 9th 2023 we had the pleasure of listening to Tanner Culpitt, postdoc at the Hylleraas Centre, giving a presentation entitled Electronic Structure and Molecular Dynamics in a Strong Magnetic Field. In addition to outlining how such systems can be studied non-perturbatively, he also shared ideas on how quantum computers may be useful in …
Friday 26th of May Kishore Thapliyal, from Palacky University, Olomouc, Czecch Republic, will visit the Quantum Hub and tell us about his work on secure quantum computation. Title and abstract: Experimental generation of engineered multi-mode quantum states to use in secure quantum computation The idea of secure multiparty computation will be briefly reviewed. With the …
It was our pleasure to invite you all to an interesting seminar by Simen Kvaal from University of Oslo. Simen is a quantum physicist with the Hylleraas centre at the Department of Chemistry, UiO. The title of his talk is “No need for a grid: Gaussians for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation”. Read more about it …
Dear all, Tuesday April 18th we will have the pleasure of having Aleksander Wennersteen PASQAL visiting us. PASQAL is a company that develops quantum computers. One of its founders is Alain Aspects, one of last year’s recipients of the Nobel prize in physics, which was awarded for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of …
