50. Lattice field theory for superconducting circuits

Neill Warrington (MIT)

1/13/26, 10:00 AM

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...

5. Quantum Sensing of Fundamental Symmetry-Violating Nuclear Properties

Prof. David DeMille (Johns Hopkins University)

This talk will describe three types of experiments that use techniques of single quantum state preparation, state engineering, and projective state readout to measure fundamental symmetry-violating properties of nuclei, often at the standard quantum limit of sensitivity. These are:
1. Ongoing experiments to search for parity (P) and time reversal (T) violating nuclear Schiff moments, which...
