Quantum Computational Matter
Speaker(s): Stephen Bartlett
Abstract: Low-temperature phases of strongly-interacting quantum many-body systems can exhibit a range of exotic quantum phenomena, from superconductivity to fractionalized particles. One exciting prospect is that the ground or low-temperature thermal state of an engineered quantum system can function as a qu... read more

Quantum computational phases of matter: measurement-based quantum computing in the Haldane phase
Speaker(s): Stephen Bartlett
Abstract: A recent breakthrough in quantum computing has been the realization that quantum computation can proceed solely through single-qubit measurements on an appropriate quantum state. One exciting prospect is that the ground or low-temperature thermal state of an interacting quantum many-body system can ... read more

Epistemic vs ontic interpretations of the state of quantum systems in the presence of closed timelike curves
Speaker(s): Stephen Bartlett
Abstract: TBA

Quantum reference frames and relationalism in quantum theory
Speaker(s): Stephen Bartlett
Abstract: A reference frame can be treated as a physical quantum object internal to the theory. Quantum reference frames whose size, and therefore accuracy, are bounded in some way necessarily limit one's ability to prepare states and to perform quantum operations and measurements on a system. The nature of t... read more

Identifying phases of matter that are universal for quantum computation
Speaker(s): Stephen Bartlett
Abstract: A recent breakthrough in quantum computing has been the realization that quantum computation can proceed solely through single-qubit measurements on an appropriate quantum state - for example, the ground state of an interacting many-body system. It would be unfortunate, however, if the usefulness of... read more
