Department Colloquium

In Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the University of Regina

Location: RI 208

Speaker: Sarah Plosker, University of Brandon

Title:  Some recent advancements in quantum state transfer

Abstract:

Being able to transfer quantum states from one location to another in a quantum system is a desirable property, especially in the context of large-scale quantum computing. Such a scheme can be modelled by a graph X, where a continuous-time quantum walk on X is described by a time-dependent transition matrix U(t)=exp(itH), where H is the Hamiltonian describing the quantum system, typically taken to be the adjacency matrix or Laplacian matrix associated to the graph. We consider some recent advancements in quantum state transfer, focusing on the underlying mathematical properties of the graphs and their associated Hamiltonian.
