PADQOC, high-performance solver for Quantum Optimal Control

Michael Chen

Designing control pulses to generate desired unitary evolution subjugated to experimental constraints (e.g., decoherence time, bandwidth) is a common task for quantum platforms, these type of problems are often addressed in the context of quantum optimal control. Parallel Automatic Differentiation Quantum Optimal Control (PADQOC) is an open-source, Python based general quantum optimal control solver built on top of Tensorflow 2. It is designed to be fast, extensible and useful for controlling general quantum systems.

Quantum Frontiers Distinguished Lecture: Crazy behaviour of light inside solids

David Snoke, University of Pittsburgh

Much of our intuition about light comes from our experience that light has very weak interaction with other light—a beam of light easily passes through another beam of light, so that the Star Wars scenes of “light sabers” bouncing off each other are just imaginary. But in solids, the properties of light can be changed dramatically, especially in solids that we design for new effects.
