“Towards an Optical Clock with Highly Charged Ions”

 

Highly charged ions (HCI) have many favorable properties for tests of fundamental physics and as potential next generation optical atomic frequency standards [1]. For example, narrow optical finestructure transitions have smaller polarizabilities and electric quadrupole moments, but much stronger relativistic, QED and nuclear size contributions to their binding energy compared to their (near) neutral counterparts. Therefore, HCI have been found to be among the most...

“Lattice Gauge Quantum Field Theories in the Age of Quantum Computers”

Abstract:

Simulating real time dynamics of quantum field theories (QFTs) such as quantum chromodynamics poses a significant challenge in fundamental physics. Quantum computers may be able to help and recent progress in designing and analyzing scaling of quantum simulation algorithms for various QFTs is encouraging. In this talks we will discuss quantum and quantum-classical simulation strategies for the Schwinger model – quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimension. We will present a resource...

"Majorana Qubits"

Qubits are the building blocks for quantum computers. The qubit hardware needs to be as robust as possible in order to allow scaling towards circuits with many qubits. We investigate Majorana qubits where information is stored non-locally and therefore protected against basic decoherence mechanisms. We use...
