Squeezing and ultrastrong coupling of light and matter

Date: Thursday, November 3, 2022
Time: 11:00
Host: ICTQT Seminar, room D 102, Chemistry Department, UG
Passcode: 743020
Speaker: Adam Miranowicz, Adam Mickiewicz University (Poznań) and RIKEN (Wako) Abstract Experimental demonstrations and control of strong coupling of light and matter has lead to various applications for lasers, quantum sensing, and quantum information processing since 1980s. In my talk, I will review [1] recent theoretical and experimental progress in the ultrastrong coupling (USC) and deep-strong coupling (DSC) regimes of […]

Engineering and tomography of collective quantum state in gases

Date: Monday, October 24, 2022
Time: 14:15
Host: Quantum Chaos and Quantum Information (Jagiellonian University)
Passcode: subspace
Speaker: Szymon Pustelny (Institute of Theoretical Physics, JU) Abstract The ability to generate, modify, and retrieve a quantum state is of paramount importance for quantum information. Conventional physical implementations of the schemes, enabling realization of the tasks, employ single microscopic objects (atoms, photons, superconducting circuits, etc.). However, operation with such objects presents many experimental challenges. […]

Reconstructing the whole from its parts

Date: Monday, October 31, 2022
Time: 14:15
Host: Quantum Chaos and Quantum Information (Jagiellonian University)
Passcode: subspace
Speaker: Dardo Goyeneche (Universidad de Antofagasta, Chile) Abstract The quantum marginal problem consists in deciding whether a given set of marginal reductions is compatible with the existence of a global quantum state or not. In this talk, we formulate the problem from the perspective of dynamical systems theory and study its advantages with respect to the […]

Certification of entangled quantum states and quantum measurements in Hilbert spaces of arbitrary dimension

Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2022
Time: 12:30
Host: Center for Theoretical Physics Colloquium
Passcode: 134595
Speaker: Shubhayan Sarkar (CTP, PAS) Abstract A lot of work has recently been put into finding device-independent certification schemes for composite quantum systems. Most of them are however restricted to lower-dimensional systems, in particular two-qubit states. In this talk, I will first explain the basics of device-independent certification of quantum systems. Then, I will present […]

An optimal LCU-based quantum linear system solver

Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2022
Time: 16:00
Host: Team-Net Quantum Computing Colloquium
Passcode: teamnet
Speaker: Sander Gribling (Université de Paris) Abstract In this talk, I will first give an overview of recent techniques such as taking linear combinations of unitaries (LCU) and the quantum singular value transformation framework (QSVT). These techniques allow one to reduce many quantum algorithmic problems to questions about finding good / the best polynomial approximations […]

Asymptotics and typicality of sequential generalized measurements

Date: Wednesday, September 28, 2022
Time: 15:15
Host: Quantum Information and Quantum Computing Working Group (CTP PAS)
Passcode: nisq
Speaker: Wen-Long Ma (Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences) Abstract The relation between projective measurements and generalized quantum measurements is a fundamental problem in quantum physics, and clarifying this issue is also important to quantum technologies. While it has been intuitively known that projective measurements can be constructed from sequential generalized or weak measurements, […]

Distinguishability-induced many-body decoherence

Date: Wednesday, September 28, 2022
Time: 12:00
Host: ICTQT
Passcode: 743020
Speaker: Christoph Dittel (University of Freiburg) Abstract Indistinguishability is the essential ingredient for many-body interference — a purely quantum mechanical interference effect between many identical bosonic or fermionic particles that can be exploited for a variety of applications, ranging from simulations with ultracold atoms to photonic quantum information processing. In this talk I give an […]

What is nonclassical about uncertainty relations?

Date: Wednesday, August 3, 2022
Time: 14:15
Passcode: 743020
Speaker: Lorenzo Catani (TU Berlin) Abstract Uncertainty relations express limits on the extent to which the outcomes of distinct measurements on a single state can be made jointly predictable. The existence of nontrivial uncertainty relations in quantum theory is generally considered to be a way in which it entails a departure from the classical worldview. […]
