    In this talk I will present a new, general method for computing properties of superconducting circuits from circuitQED. This method is essentially a direct adaptation of “lattice QCD”, a tool commonly used in particle physics to solve the microscopic equations of nuclear physics, to superconducting circuits. I will describe the method, then present applications to fluxonium, a superconducting...

These simulations exploit the platform of trapped atomic ions, featuring qubits (spins) with...

    In this talk, we present a large-scale quantum simulation of the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model, a paradigmatic fermionic model, on IBM's superconducting quantum computers with over 100 qubits. By developing first-order and second-order optimized Trotterization circuits, we maintain a constant circuit depth in quantum simulation regardless of system size on superconducting quantum...

  11. 2. No-go Theorem for Environment-assisted Invariance Symmetry of Entanglement
    Akira Sone (University of Massachusetts Boston)
    1/13/26, 4:45 PM

    In this talk, I will examine the conditions under which quantum operations preserve environment-assisted invariance (envariance), a symmetry of entanglement. While envariance has traditionally been studied in the context of local unitary operations, I extend the analysis to include non-unitary local operations. I will show that, to maintain envariance, such operations must admit Kraus...

    Roger Brown (NIST)

    As Thorium nuclear spectroscopy progresses, it promises to be a unique and powerful quantum senor of the strong nuclear force. In an analogy, once clock errors arising from electromagnetism are understood and quantified, an optical lattice clock may be used as a sensor to measure effects arising from gravity. One application is relativistic geodesy, where earth’s geoid can be mapped via...

    Myeonghun Park (SeoulTech)
    1/15/26, 12:30 PM

    We present a new approach to search for radiative decays of very weakly interacting particles using quantum sensors. Superconducting transmon qubits and trapped ion systems can detect extremely small electromagnetic signals produced by decay photons. We study two physics cases: dark matter and the cosmic neutrino background. We show that current quantum devices can already probe radiative...

    Junghoon Justin Park (Seoul National University)
    1/15/26, 4:45 PM

    Practical Quantum Machine Learning (QML) is challenged by noise, limited scalability, and poor trainability in Variational Quantum Circuits (VQCs) on current hardware. We propose a multi-chip ensemble VQC framework that systematically overcomes these hurdles. By partitioning high-dimensional computations across ensembles of smaller, independently operating quantum chips and leveraging...

  36. 7. Single atom tweezer array platform for open quantum system physics
    Dr Hoang Van Do (University of Massachusetts Boston)
    1/15/26, 5:15 PM

    Understanding decoherence and dissipation remains a central challenge for quantum information science, particularly in many-body systems where system–environment coupling gives rise to rich and not yet fully understood dynamics. Neutral-atom tweezer arrays offer a promising route toward controlled many-body quantum simulators in which local information spreading through an interacting system...

    1. Ongoing experiments to search for parity (P) and time reversal (T) violating nuclear Schiff moments, which...
