Large scale integrated quantum photonics for simulating particle physics

该项目将解决新型光子硬件的开发，大规模光子电路的控制，量子门设计和模拟量子模拟器的理论映射。该项目将由布里斯托尔量子工程与技术实验室的联合主任Anthony Laing和布里斯托尔LHCb小组的负责人Jonas Rademacker教授共同监督。（Laing和Rademacker之前共同指导了一个博士学位，这个项目将建立在这个博士学位的基础上；那个学生刚刚在格勒诺布尔获得了博士后学位）。该项目将包括Laing教授团队在可编程光子量子模拟的误差缓解技术方面的最新突破[4-6]，并补充QCS中心WP4在模拟反应动力学方面的光子模拟工作。

The project will tackle the development of novel photonic hardware, control of large-scale photonic circuitry, quantum gate design and theoretical mappings for analogue quantum simulators. The project will be supervised by Anthony Laing, co-Director of Bristol's Quantum Engineering and Technology Labs, and co-supervised by the lead of Bristol's LHCb group, Prof. Jonas Rademacker. (Laing and Rademacker previously co-supervised a PhD on which this project will build; that student just secured her postdoc at Grenoble). This project will include recent breakthroughs from Prof. Laing's group in error mitigation techniques for programmable photonic quantum simulation [4-6], and complements the photonic simulation work of WP4 in the QCS Hub on simulating reaction dynamics.
