DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nIQC COLLOQUIUM - DR. CHAE-YEUN PARK\, XANADU\n\nQNC
  building\, 200 University Ave. Room QNC 1201 À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ \n\nUnderstanding 
 the dynamics of quantum many-body systems is one of the\nfundamental objec
 tives of physics. The existence of an efficient\nquantum algorithm for sim
 ulating these dynamics with reasonable\nresource requirements suggests tha
 t this problem might be among the\nfirst practically relevant tasks quantu
 m computers can tackle.\nAlthough an efficient classical algorithm for sim
 ulating such dynamics\nis not generally expected\, the classical hardness 
 of many-body\ndynamics has been rigorously proven only for certain commuti
 ng\nHamiltonians. In this talk\, I will show that computing the output\ndi
 stribution of quantum many-body dynamics is classically difficult\,\nclass
 ified as #P-hard\, also for a large class of non-commuting\nmany-body spin
  Hamiltonians. Our proof leverages the robust polynomial\nestimation techn
 ique and the #P-hardness of computing the permanent of\na matrix. By combi
 ning this with the anticoncentration conjecture of\nthe output distributio
 n\, I will argue that sampling from the output\ndistribution generated by 
 the dynamics of a large class of spin\nHamiltonians is classically infeasi
 ble. Our findings can significantly\nreduce the number of qubits required 
 to demonstrate quantum advantage\nusing analog quantum simulators.\n

DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nIQC COLLOQUIUM - AKIRA OIWA\, OSAKA UNIVERSITY\n\nQ
 uantum-Nano Centre\, 200 University Ave West\, Room QNC 1501 À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ\,\nO
 N CA N2L 3G1\n\nSemiconductor spin qubits are well recognized as a promisi
 ng platform\nfor scalable fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQCs) because
  of\nrelatively long spin coherence time in solid state devices and\nhigh-
 electrical tuneability of the quantum states [1]. In addition\,\nsemicondu
 ctors have a great potential for applications in quantum\ncommunications b
 ecause of their abilities in optical devices.\nTherefore\, especially in q
 uantum repeater applications\, the\nsemiconductor spin qubits provide a ro
 ute to efficiently connect qubit\nmodules or quantum computers via optical
  fibers and construct global\nquantum networks\, contributing to realize s
 ecure quantum\ncommunications and distributed quantum computing [2]. In th
 is talk\, we\npresent the physical process enabling the quantum state conv
 ersion\nfrom single photon polarization states to single electron spin sta
 tes\nin gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) and its experimental demonstration
 \n[3]. As recent significant achievements\, we discuss that the\nenhanceme
 nt of the conversion efficiency from a single photon to a\nsingle spin in 
 a quantum dot using photonic nanostructures [4].\nFinally\, we present a p
 erspective of high conversion efficiency\nquantum repeater operating direc
 tly at a telecom wavelength based on\nsemiconductor spin qubits.\n\n[1] G.
