quantum simulation

Quantum simulation has recently established itself as an area of study in quantum physics that merges fundamental and applied questions. Such an interaction results in a more operational understanding of some aspects of quantum mechanics in terms of nature description. The idea to simulate the dynamics of a quantum system by a quantum device was first introduced by Richard Feynman in a seminal article in 1982 and developed in different frameworks, from quantum optics to condensed matter physics.

European COST Action to develop “A quantum theory of complex and networked systems”

Open webnair 4:00 p.m. GMT – Thursday, June 2

This is the 6th in series of workshops focusing on aspects of quantum walks, and will take place in Prague, Czech Republic from 17 to 20 November, 2016.

The workshop will aim to bring interdisciplinary researchers from all areas of quantum walks, both theoretical and experimental, together to discuss recent work and find future directions of research.

There will be a number of invited speakers and we will also accept a number of contributed talks.

We strongly encourage young researchers to join us at this workshop.

The Nature is always changed dynamically even in quantum mechanics. Quantum walks, which are quantum-mechanical analogues of random walks, are promising toy models to understand quantum dynamics. Surprisingly, these models can be experimentally demonstrated in some physical models. This workshop will be open for interdisciplinary researchers from the theoretical and experimental sides on the discrete-time and continuous-time quantum walks, for examples, mathematics, physics, quantum information, and statistical mechanics.
