Simulation of exponentially complex quantum technologies

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop computational tools to study exponentially complex many-body systems, and use them to model novel quantum technologies. Physics has a deep and broad impact on our modern lives, via computing, the internet, mobile telephones, GPS, space travel and medical technologies. This project will demonstrate the potential of quantum devices, with significance and impact both inside and outside physics. The project will simulate quantum systems ranging from quantum circuits for early universe simulation to boson sampling devices using Bose-Einstein condensates and plasmonic systems. Through modelling recent advances, and proposing robust, ultra-sensitive interferometers as one application, the project expects to enhance capability and understanding of quantum science.
