SUMMARY:Special Seminar: Rachel Wortis - Trent University: Many-body localization in the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model
DESCRIPTION:Title:  Many-body localization in the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model \nAbstract: How isolated quantum systems reach thermal equilibrium is a long-standing question of continuing interest. The absence of equilibration in some systems is also well known\, notably Anderson localization in noninteracting systems with quenched disorder.  However\, it has only relatively recently been understood that the absence of equilibration can persist in the presence of interactions\, dubbed many-body localization.  While most of the theoretical work in this area has focused on spin systems\, in which there is just one local degree of freedom\, systems with multiple coupled degrees of freedom are of interest\, not least because most experimental studies of many-body localization use cold atoms described by the Hubbard model.  This talk will review this context and explore the specific case of the disordered Fermi-Hubbard model.  With two coupled local degrees of freedom\, charge and spin\, how does disorder in one of these influence localization in the other?  Writing the Hamiltonian in terms of charge- and spin-specific integrals of motion\, we extract time scales associated with charge-charge\, spin-spin\, and charge-spin coupling and connect these with the growth of entanglement.

SUMMARY:Dawn VII
DESCRIPTION:Every 2-3 years\, the community of physicists working with ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors holds a discussion-based “Dawn” meeting to plan for the future of the field.  \nThis year the global ground-based GW community (LIGO\, Virgo\, KAGRA\, Cosmic Explorer\, and Einstein Telescope) is coming to us: Blusson QMI is hosting the Dawn VII meeting June 12-13 in the Scarfe building. \nYou can find a program outline here: https://dawn7.phas.ubc.ca/program/ \nDawn VII will be a great introduction to challenges\, opportunities\, and relevant timescales for development of enabling technologies for ground-based GW detectors\, including thin-film mirror coatings (a critical need with a lot of overlapping expertise in QMI)\, large-scale substrates\, thermal effects\, sensor development\, and quantum squeezing.  \nThere will also be satellite workshops devoted to pursuing a needed breakthrough in thin-film coatings and GW detector technology on Friday June 14.  \nPlease register here!

SUMMARY:Quantum Computing: Building Bridges Between Academia\, Industry\, and Government
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, quantum computing has made continuous progress from improvements in scalability to advancements in error correction codes. This has motivated an increasing focus on exploring use cases and applications. \nJoin us for this year’s second Unboxing Quantum panel\, where quantum industry experts and thought leaders will come together to discuss Canada’s rapidly evolving quantum computing landscape. Hosted by UBC’s Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (Blusson QMI)\, the online event will take place from 10:00 to 11:00 am (PT) on June 19\, 2024. \n \nWith a special focus on pathways to fostering collaboration between academia\, industry\, and government\, this panel aims to explore the critical role that universities and research institutes play in fostering adoption\, ushering in new technology\, and training the quantum workforce as we emerge from the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era and into the early stages of fault tolerance. \nSpeakers: \n\nLukas Chrostowski\, Investigator\, Blusson QMI\nLisa Lambert\, CEO\, Quantum Industry Canada\nAlex Challans\, CEO\, Resonance\nChristopher Coleman\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Blusson QMI (Moderator)\n\nTo register for the event\, please click here.
