PhD initiatives !
From June 1st to beginning of July, the QICS is organising actions to allow young researchers in Quantum information to meet each other and discuss their projects and needs to reinforce the community and thematic.
Small seminar #7
The monthly PhD student’s seminar in Quantum information-Accessible only to PhD students and Post-doc. Our seminar will take place at LIP6 lab at Jussieu, Pierre & Marie Curie Campus, Tower 26, 1st floor, corridor 25-26, room 105, from 11.45 am to 12.30 pm on Wednesday, June the 1st. For this 7th seminar, our 2 speakers are NAJERA SANTOS Baldo Luis, from OMQM team at LKB lab and Constantin Dalyac, from QI team at LIP6 lab.
Chairman of the seminar: to be announced
Let’s stay for lunch time !
After the talks, in order to follow the discussion in a more convivial and informal moment, we invite you to stay with us during the lunch and offer you a meal.
From 11:45 am to 12:05 pm
Towards strong coupling between a heavy fluxonium qubit and a phononic crystal membrane resonator – NAJERA SANTOS Baldo Luis
As part of my PhD project, we are aiming to achieve strong electromechanical coupling between a heavy fluxonium superconducting circuit and a phononic crystal membrane resonator. The heavy fluxonium is the perfect candidate to build a quantum electromechanical device with outstanding properties, because its lower energy manifold is in the other of MHz, same as the membrane resonator. Furthermore, the heavy fluxonium is insensitive to charge noise, with a coherence around 100 us, while keeping large charge matrix elements, and it is very non-linear in nature, allowing the coherence manipulation and the creation of non-classical (non gaussian) quantum states of the mechanical membrane resonator, for example, Schrödinger cat states.
From 12:10 pm to 12.30 pm
Solving the Maximum Independent Set problem with Rydberg atoms – Constantin Dalyac
In the past years, many quantum algorithms have been proposed to tackle hard combinatorial problems which are at the heart of industrial applications. In this talk, we will show in particular that the Maximum Independent Set (MIS) problem, known to be NP-hard, can be naturally encoded in Rydberg atomic arrays. Furthermore, the MIS problem reveals deep connections between many-body physics and complexity theory.
Small seminar Round-table
After one year of various and enriching seminars between you, we were wondering which format, experience, ideas, projects would suit you the best. We thought about tutorials, opening the seminars to other public, or organizing a workshop of 3 or 4 days in a venue outside Paris, etc...
Thea easiest way to know your wishes is to ask you directly. What about a roundtable all together?
When: July the 5th, from 10.30am to 1pm
Where: To be confirmed
Who: you, you, you and you, All PhD students and postdoc in Quantum information
How: registering by sending an email to qics@sorbonne-universite.fr
