Quantum information in tensor networks

Michael Walter, Stanford University

In this talk, we explore how quantum information is encoded in tensor networks. To this end, we study the properties of random tensor networks with large bond dimension. We find that, from the perspective of quantum information theory, entanglement emerges from the geometry of the network by a multipartite entanglement distillation process.

Public lecture by Charles W. Clark

Much of what we understand about the world comes from our eyes, which sense the colors from red to violet that are expressed in the rainbow.

This is the first of the Intellectual Property (IP) Management Lunch and Learn Lecture Series. We are bringing in thought leaders in the protection and management of intellectual property, including many years of experience in relevant areas of information technology.

This session will be led by Tom Hunter.

Short film festival + public lecture by Martin Laforest

Join us for a night of film and science. The Institute for Quantum Computing has partnered with the Centre for Quantum Technologies in Singapore to host a festival for quantum-inspired films. The screening of the top 10 short films will be followed by a lecture by Senior Manager, Scientific Outreach, Martin Laforest about the applications of quantum devices. He will delve into what we know quantum devices will be used for (that will affect everyone) and where researchers are hoping they will be used in the future.

Quantum Technology: Theory Research at Strathclyde

John Jeffers, University of Strathclyde

I will provide a short overview of the UK national Quantum Technology Hubs and the theoretical involvement at Strathclyde in two Hubs: the Quantum Communications Hub and the Quantum Imaging Hub.
    

Operational characterization of quantum properties

Marco Piani, University of Strathclyde

 Quantum features like quantum superposition and quantum correlations — the latter comprising, but not limited to entanglement — are both of foundational and applicative interest. We develop tools to characterize such features operationally, looking for ways to detect, quantify, and utilize them. Some recent results I will report on regard the use of such features in the discrimination of physical processes, a task within the area of quantum metrology.
