Entangled photon-pairs are a vital resource in quantum information protocols ranging from quantum key distribution to teleportation. The commonly used technique for generating photon-pairs is by a three-wave mixing process called spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in bulk crystals. The increased demand of quality entangled photon-pair sources for various applications and the readily available technology to...

Superconducting circuits are a prime contender both for realizing fault-tolerant quantum processors and for executing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) algorithms. After a brief introduction to the quantum physics of superconducting circuits I will focus on the latter. The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is one of a whole class of variational methods, which are believed...

The growing ability to manipulate quantum systems is paving the way for a second quantum revolution and a number of initiatives worldwide have been formed to foster quantum technologies. These exciting novel applications are exploiting specific quantum properties which are not accessible with classical resources such as superposition and entanglement of individual quantum systems. The...

This seminar will be conducted remotely. To request the Zoom link, please send an email to: mipse-central@umich.edu Abstract: Matter at extreme pressures, temperatures, and densities characterizes a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena, including interiors of Jovian size planets, hyper-velocity meteor impacts, the burning core of stars, thermonuclear burning inertial confinement fusion capsules. Matter...
