Reader in Condensed Matter Theory Group Leader, Physics of Quantum Materials University of Kent
Finding each other inside a quantum computer In a paper to appear in the New Journal of Physics we tackle using quantum technology a problem we have all faced at some point: how do I find someone who is also looking for me if we cannot communicate? This is called a "rendezvous problem". The trick is, of course, to have agreed a strategy beforehand. For instance, when we walk with a child into a supermarket we might tell the child "if we get separated, wait for me and I will find you" (thus preventing a situation where we are both looking for the other and missing them or, even worse, we are both staying put indefinitely). In our paper we simulate rendezvous strategies in simple cases (like the two robots moving between the vertices of a triangle, shown in the picture) inside a quantum computer and show that if the two "players" have access to entangled qubits there are strategies available to them that beat anything that could be done classically. The published research paper can be found in the New Journal of Physics: https://lnkd.in/eQj-_UJQ A more complete non-technical explanation can be found at: https://lnkd.in/evWYhAM5

IET PAEN Sustainable Accelerators Workshop Event: Sustainable Accelerators Workshop Date: 23rd May Venue: ESA Conference Centre, Harwell Campus, Oxon Registration: https://lnkd.in/ehsSPrNU Join us for the Sustainable Accelerators Workshop to discover how the accelerator community is developing best practices to ensure environmental sustainability is key at all stages of the accelerator lifecycle. The workshop, which is hosted by STFC on behalf of the IET Particle Accelerator Engineering Network, includes four sessions on Future Facilities; Efficiency; Sustainability Skills and Knowledge, and a final invited session with talks on Sustainable High Energy Physics and the ESA Climate Change Initiative. The IET PAEN membership covers all areas of accelerator technology including scientific research establishments, commercial, medical and university research with the talks throughout the day reflecting this coverage. If you are interested in attending, please register via the link below. Posters on any sustainability subject related to accelerators and their support facilities are encouraged. https://lnkd.in/ehsSPrNU
