Thomas Baker (Department of Physics & Astronomy and also of Chemistry, University of Victoria)20/06/2023, 13:20Symposia Day (DPE/CAP - DEP/ACP) - Q-STATE: Quantum Science, Technology, Applications, Training, and Education | Science, technologie, applications, formation et éducation quantiquesInvited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)
Several high profile quantum algorithms have failed in the last decade, meaning that a better classical algorithm has been found. This has been especially pronounced in the field of quantum machine learning. While some methods have known bounds and are definitely faster than classical algorithms, the practicalities of finding a good working quantum algorithm capable of effecting real change...

While photons are poised to play a key role for a wide range of quantum technologies, several experimental barriers still need to be overcome for most practical applications. In this talk, I will first present a brief overview of the advantages and drawbacks of using photons for quantum information, before discussing some important research directions currently being pursued in order to...

Artificial intelligence plays an increasing role in many situations in our everyday lives. Its immense power finds applications in various fields, recently also including the field of quantum many-body physics. Artificial neural networks have led to improved numerical studies of qubit systems, increasing our understanding of these systems, which build the foundation of quantum computers and...

Resource theories provide a unifying framework to characterize the usefulness of quantum objects with respect to specified tasks. In this talk I will present the main ideas, showing that such a framework is quite general, and seemingly different phenomena can be all described within it. I will also chart some promising directions for future developments in this area of quantum information.

While qubit is the basic unit in most quantum information devices and applications, there is another class of quantum system that offers infinite states per degree of freedom. Bosonic systems, in this respect, are everywhere and provide loads of practical advantages. In this short talk, I will introduce the basics and features of bosonic quantum technologies, and try to convince you that we...

The quantum computing stack is the sequence of transformations that must be performed for the high-level description of a quantum algorithm to be executed on a (concrete or hypothetical) quantum computer. In this talk I will discuss old and new developments in the field and comment on the role that the quantum stack can play in the advent of practical quantum computing.

Coherent scattering of photons in a dilute vapour of alkali atoms provides a strong link between the quantum information stored in the photonic and collective spin Hilbert spaces. In our lab we are looking at the mapping of photonic quantum states into and out of collective spins. By continuously scattering, we are creating highly correlated beams exhibiting EPR entanglement as well as...
