Seminar: ‘Perturbative aspect of electroweak phase transitions in the Early Universe’

Blue Room Instituto de Física Teórica (IFT) - C. Nicolás Cabrera, 13-15, Fuencarral-El Pardo, Madrid, Spain

Scientific activities

Title: 'Perturbative aspect of electroweak phase transitions in the Early Universe' Speaker: Andrii Dashko (DESY) Venue&Time: Blue Room / 12:00 Abstract: We present a study of the perturbative description of thermally driven electroweak phase transitions (EWPT) in the early universe. Focusing on strong first-order transitions, which are relevant for gravitational wave cosmology, we examine the […]

Quantum Information Journal Club: ‘Optimal strategies for near-term simulation of fermionic systems with scalable local fermion-to-qubit mappings’

Journal clubs

Title: 'Optimal strategies for near-term simulation of fermionic systems with scalable local fermion-to-qubit mappings' Speaker: Manuel G. Algaba Venue&Time: Gray Room 3 / 11:30 Abstract: Quantum simulation of interacting fermions remains one of the most compelling applications of quantum computing, but its practical realization depends on more than the asymptotic promise of fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.
