Special seminar: Rajibul Islam

Quantum simulation with laser-cooled trapped ions

Rajibul Islam, Institute for Quantum Computing

Laser-cooled trapped ions are among the most versatile experimental platforms for the simulation of non-trivial quantum Hamiltonians. What distinguishes this platform from others is the extent to which it is experimentally possible to control this system at the level of individual particles and interactions between them.

Special seminar: Andrew Daley

Out-of-equilibrium dynamics in AMO quantum simulators

Andrew Daley, University of Strathclyde

Over the past few years, the possibility to control and measure atomic and molecular systems time-dependently has generated a lot of progress in exploring out-of-equilibrium dynamics for strongly interacting many-particle systems. This connects directly to fundamental questions relating to the relaxation of such systems to equilibrium, as well as the spreading of correlations and build-up of entanglement.

Entangled: The series - Connecting quantum and music

Hear Raymond Laflamme, founding director of the Institute for Quantum Computing and John von Neumann Chair in Quantum Information and Edwin Outwater, Music Director Laureate of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, as they have a conversation about the making of Does God Play Dice (Quantum Etude).

Radio host Mike Farwell will moderate this conversation about their collaboration that integrated quantum physics and music to create a surprisingly random performance piece. You’ll even have the to watch highlights of the April 20 performance.

CryptoWorks21 - What is patentable?

Speaker: Jeffrey Wong

Abstract: Is your work new, and is it useful? Who else knows about it, and how? These are fundamental questions to whether or not a patent can be obtained. Is your idea abstract or tangible? Can software be patented, and if so how? This lecture will cover the criteria for patentability, the process for obtaining a patent and the timeline, and the costs and strategies involved in developing a patent portfolio.
