IQuS Postdoc Saurabh Kadam wins the University of Maryland’s 2024 Ching-Hung Woo Award for Outstanding Dissertation Research in Nuclear and Particle Theory, for work he did under the supervision of Zohreh Davoudi. We congratulate Saurabh for this fantastic achievement!

Nikita Zemlevskiy and Roland Farrell spoke at the APS March Meeting about their work on quantum simulations of quantum field theories, both scalar field theory and 1+1D QED, using more than 100 qubits of IBM’s quantum computers. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p31R9haSTKw

IQuS now has a YouTube channel for you to watch seminars and presentations. https://www.youtube.com/@IQuS-ct2ru

Martin Savage is one of ten speakers presenting results at the “Utility Scale” using IBM’s quantum computers, at the 2023 IBM Summit, New York City, December 4 2023.

FEBRUARY 18 – 24, 2024 The field of quantum thermodynamics sits at the intersection of old-style thermodynamics and quantum information. Powerful realizable concepts on non-equilibrium many-body quantum thermodynamics are challenging the established thinking on ergodicity and thermalization. This school will give pedagogical as well as state-of-the-art introduction to such ideas.

The status of cutting edge quantum simulations was discussed in IBM’s qiskit panel discussion on 27 October 2023. The panel included IQuS’s Roland Farrell .

October 27, 2023 Roland Farrell will be 1 of 4 panelists with Jay Gambetta discussing the new era of quantum simulations with more than 100 qubits. Watch the panel discussion live on youtube

INT program starts next week

Kip Thorne (2017) Nobel Laureate from Caltech will present a Frontiers of Physics lecture on May-17.

Students: gain hands-on experience in simulating complex quantum systems using quantum computers. Jefferson Laboratory is hosting a quantum computing bootcamp this June.
