Clifford groups are not always 2-designs
Matthew Graydon, Institute for Quantum Computing
Join alum Juan Miguel Arrazola, PhD ’15, as he shares his career journey and talks about current research.
Juan Miguel Arrazola is currently leading the quantum algorithms team at Xanadu, a quantum computing company located in Toronto. Prior to joining Xanadu in 2017, Arrazola worked as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore. He holds an MSc in Physics from the University of Toronto and a PhD in Physics (Quantum Information) from the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo.
Google's quantum experiment: A mathematical perspective
Gail Letzter, National Security Agency and University of Maryland, College Park
Join Chris Wilson, faculty member at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in conversation with scientific outreach manager John Donohue. They’ll discuss his latest journal article entitled “Quantum Simulation of the Bosonic Creutz Ladder with a Parametric Cavity”, recently published in Physical Review Letters.
Non-commutative Nullstellensatz and Perfect Games
Adam Bene Watts, University of Waterloo
Quantum Physical Unclonable Functions and Their Comprehensive Cryptanalysis
Mina Doosti, University of Edinburgh
In this talk I will introduce digital quantum algorithms for two quantum simulation tasks: ground state preparation/energy estimation, and real-time dynamical simulation of infinite-dimensional quantum systems. For the former I will introduce a black-box oracle setting that is suitable for quantum chemistry applications.
Meet graduate student researchers from science, engineering, and mathematics and hear how they discovered quantum information science, found their way into research, and how the skills they gained in their undergraduate studies are helping them develop the next generation of quantum technology.
