What makes someone a good ally? How can you use your privilege to stand up and support others?
We study approximate quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes, which are approximate quantum error-correcting codes specified as the ground space of a frustration-free local Hamiltonian, whose terms do not necessarily commute. Such codes generalize stabilizer QLDPC codes, which are exact quantum error-correcting codes with sparse, low-weight stabilizer generators (i.e. each stabilizergenerator acts on a few qubits, and each qubit participates in a few stabilizer generators).

A festival for quantum-inspired films
The Quantum Shorts festival called for short films inspired by quantum physics and the universe answered. Filmmakers all over the world responded with their movies.
Schematic of the magnetic tunnel junction created by the researchers. The hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) enclosure protected the chromium tri-iodide from environmental effects.
In this talk, we will review the use of thin films of organic polyradicals – organic polymers with one unpaired electron per monomer [1] – for memory devices and other applications. Although memory devices based on radical polymers have been often proposed, their stability was frequently limited to a few writing cycles, despite the excellent quality of the active layer.
Observations reveal the cosmos to be astonishingly simple, and yet deeply puzzling, on the largest accessible scales. Why is it so nearly symmetrical? Why is there a cosmological constant (or dark energy) and what fixes its value? How did everything we see emerge from a singular “point” in the past?
What does it mean to ask feminist questions of the worlds we study?
Join Aryn Martin from York University in a talk about addressing this question and whether having more women in science is the same as having more feminism in science.
Two-dimensional nanomaterials could cause structural disruption and cytotoxic effects to cells, which greatly challenges their promising biomedical applications including biosensing, bioimaging, and drug delivery. Here, interactions between lipid liposomes and hydrophobic nanosheets is studied utilizing coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The simulations reveal a variety of interaction morphologies that depend on the size and the orientation of nanosheets.
