Quantum Computing with Light: The Breakthrough?

This video is from Sabine Hossenfelder. What if we could harness the power of photons to process information? We can! It’s called photonic computing. It’s one of the new approaches to quantum computing – and it’s looking more and more likely that it could be the key to make quantum computers work. It’s not the […]

What Problems Could Quantum Computers Solve?

This video is from Sabine Hossenfelder. Quantum computing has attracted a lot of attention and much of what you read in the headlines is overhyped. But underneath the hype there’s real promise. In this video I go through the applications of quantum computing that we can realistically expect — if they ever get the devices […]

Quantum Computing 101

This video is from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Ray Beausoleil, HPE Senior Fellow, SVP, and Director of the Large-Scale Integrated Photonics Lab talks about the basics of quantum computing, why it’s so popular, and “quantum supremacy.” He also explains the difference between traditional and quantum computers, including bits vs qubits. In addition to mapping the quantum […]

Quantum-Enhanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulations with David Layden

Here’s a talk by David Layden on Quantum-Enhanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo Abstract: Sampling from complicated probability distributions is a hard computational problem arising in many fields, including statistical physics, optimization, and machine learning. Quantum computers have recently been used to sample from complicated distributions that are hard to sample from classically, but which seldom […]

Quantum Simulations of Topological Majorana Modes with Oles Shtanko

Quantum Simulations of Topological Majorana Modes Abstract: Modern quantum devices can now outperform classical computers in physical simulations, which makes them an important tool for future physics research. As an example, I will focus on simulating the topological states of matter hosting Majorana modes — the exotic “half-electron” states. Observing Majorana modes in the lab […]
