Quantum Simulations with Rydberg Atoms
What can quantum physics tell us about the spread of epidemics and the future of optimization? A colloquium with Prof. Michael Fleischhauer (RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau) exploring Rydberg atoms — highly excited atoms with strong interactions that make them a powerful platform for quantum simulations and quantum computing. The talk focuses on two distinct applications: • Epidemic dynamics: how the spread of atomic excitations can resemble the spread of an epidemic. • Quantum optimization: using quantum systems to tackle complex optimization problems through quantum annealing.
Organizer
Official Instagram of the Zaven P. and Sonia Akian College of Science and Engineering at the American University of Armenia, highlighting academic programs (CS, DS, ES, MS/ME), public lectures, student showcases, forums, and community STEM outreach. The account focuses on events that are educational, collaborative, and showcase student and faculty work (e.g., guest lectures, game expos, open houses).
