Quantum Foundations

Transversal implementations of encoded unitary gates are highly desirable for fault-tolerant quantum computation. It is known, however, that transversal gates alone cannot be computationally universal. I will show that the limitation on universality can be circumvented using only fault-tolerant error correction, which is already required anyway. This result applies to ``triorthogonal'' stabilizer codes, which were recently introduced by Bravyi and Haah for state distillation. I will show that triothogonal codes admit transversal implementation of the controlled-controlled-Z gate, and then demonstrate a transversal Hadamard construction which uses error correction to preserve the codespace. I will also discuss how to adapt the distillation procedure of Bravyi and Haah to Toffoli gates, improving on existing Toffoli distillation schemes.

Mathematical physics

Superfluidity and superconductivity are two remarkable phenomena in which, at low temperatures, materials abruptly gain the ability to flow without friction. Microscopic quantum theories of these phases of matter were constructed in blockbuster papers of Lev Landau (1940) and John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and J. Robert Schrieffer (1957). The actual explanation of the flow, however, is rooted in a Einstein paper of 1924 that introduces a condensate, a quantum configuration describing a finite fraction of the particles in the system. Superfluidity can then be understood in terms of the wave function for this configuration, which necessarily extends over a finite fraction of the system. Neither blockbuster paper mentions Einstein or the crucial idea of a condensate wave function. The reasons for this omission are mooted.

Electroweak Cogenesis and a CP Violating Higgs Boson

PIRSA:13090077

Particle Physics

We propose a simple renormalizable model of baryogenesis and asymmetric dark matter generation at the electroweak phase transition. Our setup utilizes the two Higgs doublet model plus two complex gauge singlets, the lighter of which is stable dark matter. The dark matter is charged under a global symmetry that is broken in the early universe but restored during the electroweak phase transition. Because the ratio of baryon and dark matter asymmetries is controlled by model parameters, the dark matter need not be light. Thus, new force carriers are unnecessary and the symmetric dark matter abundance can be eliminated via Higgs portal interactions alone. The dark matter mass is also constrained within a window around the weak scale. One of the main predictions of this model is CP violating Higgs signals at the LHC and future colliders.

Cosmology

I'll discuss a number of insights into the process of nonlinear structure formation which come from the study of random walks crossing a suitably chosen barrier. These derive from a number of new results about walks with correlated steps, and include a unified framework for the peaks and excursion set frameworks for estimating halo abundances, evolution and clustering, as well as nonlinear, nonlocal and stochastic halo bias, all of which matter for the next generation of large scale structure datasets.
