My group will be based at QuICS (the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science) on the University of Maryland campus. > > Mission: Thermodynamics emerged during the 1800s to describe large, classical systems such as steam engines. Small and quantum systems dominate much of today’s science, from quantum computers to molecules. Nineteenth-century thermodynamics—including concepts such as heat work, and efficiency—needs updating for the 21st century. We re-envision thermodynamics using the mathematical tools of quantum information theory. We then use quantum thermodynamics to gain a new perspective on problems across science, including atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics; condensed matter; chemistry; high-energy physics; and biology. My group is theoretical, collaborative, and interdisciplinary. Our research ranges from abstract theory and foundations to experimental collaborations and applications. > > Environment: The U. of Maryland and the nearby National Institute of Standards and Technology cover nearly all facets of quantum science: many-body physics, computer science, experiments, high-energy theory, etc. You’ll work in the midst of four vibrant quantum nexuses on the U. of Maryland campus: QuICS, the JQI, the Condensed-Matter Theory Center, and the Quantum Technology Center. My group also belongs to IPST, which has a strong thermodynamic tradition, particularly in fluctuation relations; hosts weekly statistical-mechanics seminars; and supports interdisciplinary research. > > The U. of Maryland is located in the Washington, D.C. area, which has many museums, theaters, diverse cultural festivals, and trails for running and biking. The area attracts visitors from around the world, providing a stream of seminars and collaborators. > > Application logistics for postdocs: Please email a cover letter, CV, publication list, and research statement to nicoleyh.11(a)gmail.com. Please have three reference writers email letters separately. All materials are due Dec. 1. > > Postdoctoral candidates are encouraged to apply also for the Hartree Fellowship, the JQI Fellowship, the NRC Fellowship (for US citizens), and the U. of Maryland Theoretical Quantum-Optics Fellowship. These applications have their own deadlines; please contact me before applying. > > Application logistics for students: Students need to apply for admission to the PhD program of the U. of Maryland Dept. of Physics by Dec. 11. Successful students will be considered for internal fellowships automatically. Please email a copy of all application materials to nicoleyh.11(a)gmail.com, and please have reference writers email their letters separately, by Dec. 11. > > -- > > Nicole Yunger Halpern > > ITAMP Postdoctoral Fellow > Harvard University Department of Physics > nicoleyh.11(a)gmail.com > https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/itamp-people/nicole.yunger_halpern

Here we report on recent developments in building, and in particular programming quantum simulators based on trapped ions as intermediate scale quantum devices. Our discussion will focus on hybrid classical-quantum scenarios: here the quantum part is the generation of highly entangled states on the quantum device in quench dynamics, which is combined with a classical post processing of measurement data, possibly run in a feedback loop with the quantum device. Examples highlighting these developments include the implementation of self-verifying variational quantum simulations, illustrated here by computing the ground state and quantum phase transition of a Schwinger Model as 1D QED. In addition, we develop and demonstrate a ‘randomized measurement toolbox’, allowing to access in experiments quantities like Renyi entanglement entropies and — as ongoing research — measure the entanglement spectrum, i.e. ‘seeing the Schmidt decomposition live’ in quench dynamics from an initial product state towards thermodynamic equilibrium. > > The seminar will be streamed live on our youtube channel at > > https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYfq48NHj6zbudywnLW3aYw <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYfq48NHj6zbudywnLW3aYw> > > Also stay tuned for next week, October 5, to hear Tilman Pfau discusses dipolar quantum gases. > > In case you missed the last talks this season, check them out here: > > - Misha Lukin <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMGT4ndCIDo> on Programmable quantum systems based on Rydberg atom arrays > - Piet Schmidt <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnolkz5giNw> on Quantum Logic Spectroscopy of Trapped Ions > - Nir Davidson <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0lLZ42Q5Vc> on Solving computational problems with coupled lasers > > For more information on upcoming talks, please visit > > https://quantumscienceseminar.com <https://quantumscienceseminar.com/> > > and subscribe to our google calendar > > https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/quantumscienceseminar%40gmail.com… <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/quantumscienceseminar%40gmail.com…> > > Best wishes, > > The QSS Team >
