Title: NIST Seminar Explores Many-Body Physics in Superconducting Circuits
Summary:
A seminar at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will discuss recent advances in modeling and analyzing large quantum circuits containing many Josephson junctions. The Josephson junction, a key component in superconducting circuits, is crucial for applications in quantum information processing, metrology, amplification, and many-body simulation.
The talk, given by NIST postdoctoral researcher Stephen Sorokanich, will focus on the many-body aspects of these circuits, which can contain hundreds or thousands of junctions. Each junction represents an independent quantum degree of freedom that may be strongly-coupled to others, making the systems complex to model.
The seminar will be recorded and made available to NIST staff and associates, with the possibility of releasing it to the public through a Freedom of Information Act request. Safety precautions are in place due to ongoing construction in the area, and visitors from outside NIST must contact Meliza Lane at least 24 hours in advance to arrange their visit.
