Quantum field theory: from physical concepts to math

Time：2023年5月15日 (周一) 19:20-20:55

Venue：西阶梯教室线上直播：B站（THU求真书院）

Speaker：Nicolai Reshetikhin

Speaker

Nicolai Reshetikhin is a mathematical physicist working at the interface of quantum field theory, representation theory and geometry.

Abstract

The talk will focused on how quantum field theory emerged as a physical theory and on how mathematical methods were evolving. This was a mutually stimulating process. Physics got a magnificent variety of mathematical tools. Mathematics got many new concepts either emerged from physics or motivated by physics.

Quantum Computing at the Physical Layer
Abstract：Quantum computing is ultimately implemented on physical devices. However, there is a lack of systematic research into the following two fundamental questions: 1. What quantum operations can be implemented on a given hardware device? 2. How do we use these operations for computational tasks? In this talk, we give answers for two-qubit operations used for circuit compilation. Given the ...
