    Summary

     

    Quantum simulators have the potential to bring unprecedented capabilities in areas such as the discovery of new materials and drugs. Engineering precise and programmable interaction graphs between qubits or spins forms the backbone of simulator applications. The trapped ion system is unique in that the interaction graph between qubits can be programmed, in principle arbitrarily. In the context of quantum many-body physics simulation, a programmable interaction graph will allow us to investigate a wide range of spin models relevant to condensed matter systems and high energy physics. In this project we investigate the feasibility of creating an arbitrary qubit-qubit interaction graph and experimentally characterize the interactions. The robustness of such graphs, including errors from experimental parameters, will be analyzed in collaboration with Roger Melko’s group. We will combine theoretical ideas from quantum information processing and many-body physics, numerical optimization and machine learning techniques, and experimental optical and atomic physics techniques.

    This project will enhance the capability of trapped ion quantum simulators significantly beyond the state-of-the-art and will identify a set of concrete many-body physics problems that can be realistically simulated. Altogether these contributions will form an enabling step towards the scalability of a quantum processor.

    Identifying the Potential of Quantum Dots to Detect and Disrupt Tau Protein Aggregation in Alzheimer’s Disease

    Specific tests for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis are currently unavailable, despite AD being the leading cause of dementia. One hallmark of AD progression is the aggregation of tau proteins into paired helical filaments and neurofibrillary tangles, which is accelerated by the hyperphosphorylation of Tau proteins. However, the mechanism by which the hyperphosphorylated tau accelerates protein […]

    Repurposing potential drug candidates for the treatment of COVID-19

    Summary The main protease (Mpro) in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), has emerged as a promising drug target. The scientific community has produced a large number of crystallographic structures of the protease, which mediates viral replication and transcription. These structures report several fragments with varied chemotypes […]

    Tuning Spin-Exchange Interactions in Low-Dimensional Metal Halide Perovskites: A New Class of Semiconductor Quantum Materials

    Summary  Leakage current in electronic components is one of the limiting factors for the performance of conventional computers which use charges and currents as physical information carriers. Spintronics offers an alternative by using electron spin for information transfer, processing and storage, enabling the design of non-volatile computer memory and more energy-efficient electronic devices. In this […]
