Speaker: David DiVincenzo Our work looks at the transmon array as a many body (boson lattice) system, asking what attributes of the many body phase influence the usability of this array for gate-based quantum computing. Many body localization is desirable. Ref: Christoph Berke, Evangelos Varvelis, Simon Trebst, Alex Altland, and David P. DiVincenzo, “Transmon platform for quantum computing challen

Speaker: Qi-Kun Xue The quantum Hall effect (QHE), a quantized version of the Hall effect [1], was observed in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems under magnetic field more than 40 years ago [2, 3]. The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect refers to a quantized version of the anomalous Hall effect [4], which doesn’t require an external magnetic field. It had been predicted to occur in “2D graphit

Speaker: Anton Zeilinger Early experiments on quantum foundations were motivated essentially by curiosity. There was no awareness that this opened up the avenue to quantum information.

Speaker: Michel Devoret The accuracy of logical operations on quantum bits (qubits) must be improved for quantum computers to surpass classical ones in useful tasks. To that effect, quantum information needs to be made robust to noise that affects the underlying physical system. Rather than suppressing noise, quantum error correction aims at preventing it from causing logical errors. This approach
