How to perform the coherent measurement of a curved phase space
Dr. Christopher Sahadev Jackson, Sandia National Laboratories
Join Twesh Upadhyaya, MSc student at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and Department of Physics & Astronomy, in conversation with scientific outreach manager John Donohue. They’ll discuss his latest journal article entitled “Dimension Reductions in Quantum Key Distribution for Continuous- and Discrete-Variable Protocols” published in Physical Review X Quantum on May 24.
Lower Bounds on Stabilizer Rank
Dr. Ben Lee Volk, The University of Texas at Austin
The stabilizer rank of a quantum state ψ is the minimal integer r such that ψ can be written as a linear combination of r stabilizer states. The running time of several classical simulation methods for quantum circuits is determined by the stabilizer rank of the n-th tensor power of single-qubit magic states.
Linear growth of quantum circuit complexity
Jonas Haferkamp, Freie Universität Berlin
Quantum coding with low-depth random circuits
Michael Gullans, University of Maryland - College Park
Join alum Tomas Jochym-O’Connor, PhD ’16, as he shares his career journey and talks about current research.
The Dean of Science Award honours Master’s students in the Faculty of Science who demonstrate outstanding performance. Speaking with the latest winner, IQC researcher Ryan Ferguson from the Department of Physics and Astronomy, we learned about his award-winning research.
Join Luca Dellantonio, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), in conversation with scientific outreach manager John Donohue. They’ll discuss his latest journal article entitled A measurement-based variational quantum eigensolver published in Physical Review Letters on June 4.
