Machine Learning for Quantum 2021 The last few years have seen a fast increase in the complexity of quantum technologies. In this context, recent groundbreaking experimental work has started to highlight the potential of advanced signal processing, such as machine learning and real-time adaptive techniques to speeding up, scaling up, and opening up new quantum technologies. The goal of this online conference, taking place March 1-5, 2021, is to bring together quantum physicists with experts in computer science and machine learning, to tackle these challenges together. Please find the conference program here. This online conference is centered around three questions, which we will address over five days of tutorials, talks and discussions: Q1 - how can a quantum sensor optimally extract information about its environment? Q2 - how can we achieve fully automatic calibration and operation of multi-qubit circuits? Q3- how can machine learning improve the performance of quantum algorithms for quantum chemistry? This event is organised as a satellite Photonics Online Meetup (POM). http://photonicsonlinemeetup.org/ Our approach is, however, platform-agnostic, and we target all quantum technology implementations.

selfURL Content Level: 400 (For Quantum Ready)
Our speaker for this meetup is Stefan Krastanov who will talk about Optimized Entanglement Purification. Abstract: Quantum Entanglement is one of the resources that provide an advantage to quantum information processing that is inaccessible to classical hardware. However, the generation of quantum entanglement is a process prone to errors. We will discuss the standard techniques for mitigating these imperfections and delve deeper in how to optimally apply these techniques to the realistic noisy hardware becoming available in the upcoming decade. This talk would be provide something of interest both to novices starting to learn about quantum networks and to the experts interested in generating the best purification circuit for their particular hardware. Circuit simulation and optimization techniques will be discussed. Bio: Stefan is a postdoctoral researcher at MIT working on quantum control problems for computation and networking, in particular designing room-temperature realizations of quantum hardware. He defended his doctorate in 2019 in Liang Jiang's group at the Yale Quantum Institute. Most of his free time Stefan spends on K12 outreach, including the design of low-cost educational programs and kits.

Flexible Quantum Control and Simulation in a Quantum Gas Microscope

selfURL Content Level: 500 (For Quantum Professional)
Location on Zoom Description Title: Flexible Quantum Control and Simulation in a Quantum Gas Microscope Speaker: Dr. Carrie Ann Weidner Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, Denmark Abstract: The first demonstrations of quantum gas microscopes (QGMs) [1,2] in 2009-10 opened up a new avenue for research in quantum simulation in few- and many-body systems. The Rb-87 quantum gas microscope at Aarhus University allows for manipulation of the internal states of the individual atoms [3] and near-arbitrary control of the potential the atoms experience. The atoms may be imaged using traditional fluorescence microscopy or via spatially-selective, minimally destructive Faraday imaging [4-5]. As a result, our experiment provides a novel and flexible platform for a variety of studies in quantum control and simulation. So far, all work with QGMs has been limited to the study of dynamics in one and two dimensions, but our world exists in a three-dimensional space. Recently, we have demonstrated three-dimensional tomography of the atom distribution in our microscope by taking several fluorescence images of the same trapped atoms while varying the focal plane of the imaging system [6]. This work represents a stepping stone towards the extension of QGM-based quantum simulation into three dimensions. In this talk, I will describe the basic working principles of our experiment. Then I will dive into the tomography work and its implications for future explorations. Finally, I will describe the possibilities of opening our experiment up for use with the general public and research community, work that builds on our previous demonstrations of BEC optimization [7-8].

Newly hired Assistant Prof. Andrea Sand (NuME, Department of Applied Physics) will give an online seminar about her research programme. 3.3.2021 14:00 - 14:30 Where Online event https://aalto.zoom.us/j/69851314009 Registration Event language(s) English Abstract: Ever since the work of Marie Sk?odowska-Curie more than 100 years ago, on the slowing down of alpha particles in sheets of metal, the effects of energetic particles in condensed matter have been the focus of intense research. Particle irradiation effects are of great technological importance, since they can modify the physical and mechanical properties of materials, the outcome of which is often detrimental to the materials employed in high radiation environments. Although past research has provided much insight on the formation of radiation damage, major outstanding questions remain. It has long been recognized that non-adiabatic effects may play an important role in the formation of radiation damage from collision cascades induced by energetic particles. Despite this, including dynamical quantum-level effects comprehensively and efficiently in models for large scale atomistic simulations has proven itself to be an elusive goal. In this talk, I will describe the journey my work has taken me on, in the quest for higher fidelity predictions of radiation damage.

Silq: High-Level Quantum Programming

selfURL Content Level: 200 (For Quantum Climber)
Abstract: Silq is a new high-level programming language for quantum computing with a strong static type system, developed at ETH Z rich. This talk will introduce both the standard parts of Silq (which exist analogously in other quantum languages) and the novel language features unique to Silq, which make Silq programs more concise, intuitive, and less error-prone than programs in existing quantum languages. Silq addresses the fundamental challenge specific to quantum programming that dropping temporary values from the program state requires explicitly applying operations that uncompute these values. To this end, Silq is the first language which supports safe, automatic uncomputation. This enables a new programming paradigm for quantum programs, which can now implicitly drop temporary values, as is standard in classical computation. To ensure physicality of Silq's semantics, its type system leverages novel annotations to reject unphysical programs. Short Bio: Benjamin Bichsel is a PhD student at ETH Z rich, supervised by Prof. Martin Vechev. He has led the development of Silq, which is part of a broader effort to bridge the conceptual gap between classical and quantum languages, thus lowering the entrance barrier for non-expert quantum programmers.Beyond quantum programming, his research interests include differential privacy, probabilistic programming, and data privacy for smart contracts.

Our speaker for this meetup is Michelle Victora, PhD. Abstract: We present an approach to purification and entanglement routing on complex quantum network architectures, that is, how a quantum network equipped with imperfect channel fidelities and limited memory storage time can distribute entanglement between users. We explore how network parameters influence the performance of path-finding algorithms necessary for optimizing routing and, in particular, we explore the interplay between the bandwidth of a quantum channels and the choice of purification protocol. Finally, we demonstrate multi-path routing on various network topologies with resource constraints, in an effort to inform future design choices for quantum network configurations. Our work optimizes both the choice of path over the quantum network and the choice of purification schemes used between nodes. We consider not only pair-production rate, but optimize over the fidelity of the delivered entangled state. We introduce effective heuristics enabling fast path-finding algorithms for maximizing entanglement shared between two nodes on a quantum network, with performance comparable to that of a computationally-expensive 'brute-force' path search. Reference : "Purification and Entanglement Routing on Quantum Networks" https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.11644.pdf Bio: Michelle received her undergraduate degree in Physics from MIT and her MS and PhD from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She spent her graduate years working in quantum optics and quantum information, spending half her time building a robust all-optical quantum memory, and the other half shooting single photons into the eyes of eager volunteers.

Wednesday, 10 March 2021 at 9am ET Registration Coming Soon Abstract The qubits in a quantum computer, once they are assembled in place and ready to operate, are inert and in their ground state. To execute a quantum circuit, we must send an intricate and complex sequence of pulses and perform measurements that will determine the state of the qubits. All of this is accomplished using the quantum hardware controller. In this class, we will see how the hardware controller fits into the quantum stack, provide examples on how various quantum gates are translated to pulses, and discuss the evolution of the quantum hardware controller from its roots using lab test equipment into the sophisticated machines that are being built and used today. In particular, we will focus on the OPX, the unique controller offered by quantum machines. Then, we will discuss: (1) the various design and architecture challenges that go into building quantum hardware controllers and (2) why it is essential (a) to build an entirely new classical processing architecture from the ground up in order to maximize the potential of the quantum hardware controller and (b) to create specialized programming languages for pulse level control. We will also demonstrate an example with a particular pulse language named: QUA.

Presented by Wenjun Hou, Jesuit High School / Portland State University The Knapsack Problem is a prominent problem that is used in resource allocation and cryptography. Wenjun's project presents an oracle and a circuit design that verifies solutions to the decision problem form of the Bounded Knapsack Problem. This oracle can be used by Grover Search to solve the optimization problem form of the Bounded Knapsack Problem. This algorithm leverages the quadratic speed-up offered by Grover Search to achieve a quantum algorithm for the Knapsack Problem that shows improvement with regard to classical algorithms. The quantum circuits were designed using the Microsoft Q# Programming Language and verified on its local quantum simulator. The project also provides analyses of the complexity and gate cost of the proposed oracle. The work in this project is the first such proposed method for the Knapsack Optimization Problem.
