SUMMARY:Virtual IQC PhD Candidate Seminar Featuring Jamal Busnaina
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:ANALOG QUANTUM SIMULATIONS USING A PARAMETRIC MULTIMODE CAVITY\
 n\nWhile universal quantum computers are still years away from being used\
 nfor simulating complicated quantum systems\, analog quantum simulators\nh
 ave become an increasingly attractive approach to studying\nclassically in
 tractable quantum systems in condensed matter physics\,\nchemistry\, and h
 igh-energy physics.  \n\nWe propose a programmable platform based on a s
 uperconducting\nmultimode cavity. The unique design of the cavity allows u
 s to program\narbitrarily connected lattices where the coupling strength a
 nd phase\nof each individual coupling are highly programmable via parametr
 ically\nactivated interactions. The effectiveness of the cavity-based AQS\
 nplatform was demonstrated by the experimental simulation of two\ninterest
 ing models. First\, we simulated the effect of a fictitious\nmagnetic fiel
 d on a 4-site plaquette of a bosonic Creutz ladder. We\nobserved topologic
 al features such as emergent edge states and\nlocalized soliton states. Th
 e platform's ability is further explored\nby introducing pairing (downconv
 ersion) terms to observe features of\nthe Bosonic Kitaev chain (BKC)\, suc
 h as chiral transport and\nsensitivity to boundary conditions.
