InQubator for Quantum Simulation

Created - Fall 2020

We are very happy to announce that the InQubator for Quantum Simulation (IQuS) has been funded by the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics.

New Seminar Series:

Quantum Simulation for Nuclear Physics

A seminar series focused on the emerging area of quantum simulation for nuclear physics research. Theoretical and experimental progress, ideas, visions and plans will be discussed by experts at the cutting-edge of quantum information science, quantum many-body systems, quantum field theory and nuclear physics.

Nuclear Physics and Quantum Information Science

The Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) Subcommittee on Quantum Information Science (QIS) released its report in early November, Nuclear Physics and Quantum Information Science. David Hertzog, who leads UW’s Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) is the Chair of NSAC, and the National Institute for Nuclear Theory’s (INT) and UW's Martin Savage is Chair of the QIS Subcommittee. Among the experimental, theoretical and computational nuclear physics research activities, the report identifies capabilities and expertise unique to nuclear physics that will advance QIS. Similarly, it identifies nuclear physics scientific objectives and grand challenges expected to benefit from present and future developments in QIS. The work of the nuclear physics community in these areas can support strongly, and on strategic timescales, a national program established by the National Quantum Initiative.

Presentation given by John Martinez at Caltech, 1 November (2019)

Nuclear Science Advisory Committee Meeting-2 in Seattle, April-May 2019

Subcommittee members and invited presenters met for 2 days at UW Faculty Club, to focus on quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum algorithms. This gathering was very valuable, with great presentations from scientists in technology companies, universities, national laboratories and other government agencies.

NSAC has been charged by DOE and NSF to provide a report identifying how nuclear physics research can contribute to advances in QIS and QC, and also identify how QIS and QC can advance research in nuclear physics. The report to NSAC from its QIS subcommittee will be delivered on October 18, 2019 in Washington DC.
