Quantum seminars

Rocco and Asmita attended the AQTIVATE workshop on ”Exascale computing and scalable algorithms” in Stockholm between 27 November 2023 and 14 December 2023 with 13 other AQTIVATE PhD research fellows. They had the opportunity to be trained on topics including theoretical and practical aspects in the design of scalable algorithms for exascale High-Performance Computing; their adoption for linear solvers, eigensolvers and fundamental simulation algorithms; introduction to computer architectures,…

Solving quantum impurity problems with matrix-product states in the temporal domain We introduce an efficient method to simulate dynamics of an interacting quantum impurity coupled to non-interacting fermionic reservoirs, based on a matrix-product state (MPS) representation of the reservoirs’ Feynman-Vernon influence functionals (IF). The efficiency of such representation rests on the moderate entanglement of the IF viewed as a “temporal state”, dubbed temporal entanglement (TE). By analytically studying…

From the 3rd to the 8th of March, Alice and Daniel attended the American Physical Society’s March Meeting 2024 in Minneapolis, a scientific research conference convening 13,000 physicists and students from around the world to connect and collaborate across academia, industry, and major labs. Check out thier slides [1, 2] for the March meeting on quantum optimal control and Rydberg atoms.

Francesco attended the second workshop of the series on quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium, organised by Prof. Rosario Fazio at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. Francesco also presented his work at Dr Marco Schirò’s group at College the France, and collaborated with Dr Gian Marcello Andolina and Junior Prof. Filippo Vicentini.
