Any computational problem can be reformulated as an adiabatic quantum computation. We discovered new insights into how problem hardness translates into slowdowns due to entanglement production. See, for example, here.
Professor Achim Kempf has been appointed the inaugural Dieter Schwarz Chair in the Physics of Information and AI, established by a landmark donation from the Dieter Schwarz Foundation to fund new research at the intersection of quantum information and artificial intelligence. Read the full story here.
Here is an Article in Scientific American about our discovery of two new acceleration-induced quantum effects that generalize the Unruh effect. One is the new phenomenon of acceleration-induced transparency and the other discovery is that acceleration-induced light emission (the Unruh effect) can be stimulated, for example, by a laser.
Congratulations to our three group members, Michael Broughton, Guillaume Verdon and Evan Peters for successfully developing and publishing Tensorflow Quantum in collaboration with Google. Have a look at their paper here.
My group received a Google Faculty Research Award to work with Google on Quantum Machine Learning. My Ph.D. student Guillaume Verdon and my Master's student Evan Peters are at the forefront of this work.
We published a paper in PRL and another paper in Foundations of Physics with a fully covariant prediction for the signature of Planck scale physics in the Cosmic Microwave Background. Here's one of the popular news items about these results.
Here is a popular science news item about David Layden's Master's research. Congratulation, David!
I am co-organizing the RQI-N 2016 conference. We'll have it here at the Institute for Quantum Computing, 21-24 June 2016.
