Events

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.

Join alum Tomas Jochym-O’Connor, PhD ’16, as he shares his career journey and talks about current research.

Quantum coding with low-depth random circuits
Michael Gullans, University of Maryland - College Park

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 

Security analysis of quantum key distribution: Methods and applications

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.

Trapdoor claw-free functions in quantum cryptography
Carl Miller, University of Maryland

How to perform the coherent measurement of a curved phase space
Dr. Christopher Sahadev Jackson, Sandia National Laboratories

We're teaming up with the Kitchener Public Library for a free, virtual talk on the book titled "Where did the universe come from?". The co-authors, Chris and Geraint, will talk about the fascinating exploration of the vastness of the universe.
