El grupo de Termodinámica y Computación Cuántica les invita al siguiente seminario

Fecha: Viernes 21, Febrero

Hora: 12:00 am

Lugar:  Laboratorio de Fïsica Computacional, Dept de Electromagnetismo y Física de al Materia, Planta Baja, Facultad de Ciencias (junto al péndulo gigante) 

Ponente: Razin A. Shaik (University of Oxford and Quantinuum)

Titulo: The Focked-up ZX calculus: Picturing Continuous-Variable Quantum Computation

Resumen: While the ZX and ZW calculi have been effective as graphical reasoning tools for finite-dimensional quantum computation, the possibilities for continuous-variable quantum computation (CVQC) in infinite-dimensional Hilbert space are only beginning to be explored. In this work, we formulate a graphical language for CVQC. Each diagram is an undirected graph made of two types of spiders: the Z spider from the ZX calculus defined on the reals, and the newly introduced Fock spider defined on the natural numbers. The Z and X spiders represent functions in position and momentum space respectively, while the Fock spider represents functions in the discrete Fock basis. In addition to the Fourier transform between Z and X, and the Hermite transform between Z and Fock, we present exciting new graphical rules capturing heftier CVQC interactions.

We ensure this calculus is complete for all of Gaussian CVQC interpreted in infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, by translating the completeness in affine Lagrangian relations by Booth, Carette, and Comfort. Applying our calculus for quantum error correction, we derive graphical representations of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code encoder, syndrome measurement, and magic state distillation of Hadamard eigenstates. Finally, we elucidate Gaussian boson sampling by providing a fully graphical proof that its circuit samples submatrix hafnians. (https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.02905)

El seminario es accesible para los estudiantes de grado, a los que recomendamos encarecidamente que asistan.  Para aquellos que no puedan asistir, también hemos configurado una reunión de Google donde el seminario se transmitirá en vivo.
