Speaker: Nicolás Gigena (University of Warsaw) Abstract In this work, we study a three-parameter family of Bell functionals in a bipartite scenario with 3 measurement settings per party and 2 outcomes per measurement. The members of this family can be thought of as variations of the well-known I3322 functional, the only one in this scenario […]

Speaker: Sagnik Chakraborty (Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun) Abstract We discuss a model of a unitary evolution of two-qubits where the joint Hamiltonian is so chosen that one of the qubits acts as a bath and thermalizes the other qubit which is acting as the system. The corresponding master equation for the system, for a specific […]

Speaker: András Gilyén (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics) Abstract An n-qubit quantum circuit performs a unitary operation on an exponentially large, 2^n-dimensional, Hilbert space, which is a major source of quantum speed-ups. We show how Quantum Singular Value Transformation can directly harness the advantages of exponential dimensionality by applying polynomial transformations to the singular values […]

Speaker: Alexander Frei (University of Copenhagen) Abstract We begin by recalling quantum strategies in the context of nonlocal games, and their description in terms of the state space on the full group algebra of certain free groups. With this description at hand, we then examine the quantum value and quantum strategies for the following prominent […]

Speaker: Robert H. Jonsson (Wallenberg Initiative on Networks and Quantum Information, Nordita (Stockholm) Abstract Gaussian quantum states play a central role in many branches of physics - from quantum optics, to condensed matter and quantum field theory. In this talk, I aim to showcase the strength of the Kähler structure formalism for Gaussian states by […]

Speaker: Andrzej Sitarz Abstract I'll review the concept of expressing the two basic notions of Riemannian geometry using spectral methods and Wodzicki residue over the algebra of pseudodifferential operators. This approach admits generalizations to the framework of noncommutative geometry. Based on joint work with L.Dabrowski and P.Zalecki.

Speaker: Ryszard Kukulski (IITiS PAN, Gliwice) Abstract Probabilistic quantum error correction (pQEC) is an error-correcting procedure which uses postselection to determine if the encoded information was successfully restored. In this talk, I will show an application of pQEC for various types of noise channels, e.g. Schur channels, channels with bounded Choi rank and random channels. […]

Speaker: Diego García-Martín (TII, Abu Dhabi, UAE) Abstract The Algebraic Bethe Ansatz (ABA) is a highly successful analytical method used to exactly solve several physical models in both statistical mechanics and condensed-matter physics. Here we bring the ABA to unitary form, for its direct implementation on a quantum computer. This is achieved by distilling the […]

Speaker: Ross Duncan (Cambridge Quantum) Abstract Quantum computers are based on the laws of quantum mechanics rather than Boolean logic; this implies very different algorithmic capabilities and, perhaps more surprisingly, very different issues across the board from software architecture to formal methods. In this talk I’ll give a broad overview of the current state of […]

Speaker: Felix Huber (Jagiellonian University) Abstract The spectral variant of the quantum marginal problem asks: Given prescribed spectra for a set of quantum marginals, does there exist a compatible joint state? The main idea of this work is a symmetry-reduced semidefinite programming hierarchy for detecting incompatible spectra. The hierarchy can provide refutations that are dimension-free, […]
