@h7fu @RQuantumSim @JinPengLiu__Sky Hi Honghao, There are two questions: 1) Is the simulator quantum? 2) Is the simulation correct? These lead to different tasks. Task 1 you need to make a test that a classical simulator/computer would fail. Task 2 requires testing versus other simulators and nature.

Our researchers from @DukeU, @UofMaryland, and @NCState gathered @Princeton this week for their annual in-person meeting with @NSF.

Pictured here are eight @RQuantumSim senior investigators representing three universities in one photo!

Welcome to North Carolina Sabre!

[Sabre Kais @sabrekais]

I am thrilled to announce that my research group will be transitioning to NC State University this August, where I have accepted the position of “Goodnight Distinguished Chair in Quantum Computing”, in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (with joint appointments in Chemistry and Physics) .

Purdue has been my home for many years, where I greatly enjoyed teaching and developing my quantum research program. I cannot imagine succeeding and advancing my program without the outstanding support from the Chemistry Department, Purdue University, and my esteemed colleagues in both science and engineering.

I eagerly anticipate this new chapter at NC State and look forward to contributing to the cutting-edge research in quantum computing.

Jonathan Baker (@UTAustin ) discusses quantum architecture tuned to physical platforms at #SummerSTAQ

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

Mario Motta ( @IBMResearch ) on the quantum simulation of quantum dynamics starting with the example of scattering neutrons at #SummerSTAQ

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"You can just buy these [dilution refrigerators]. They are not cheap, but you could buy one."

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

Ted Thorbeck (@IBMResearch ) presents the physics of superconducting qubits at #SummerSTAQ. Here he is fielding a question.

Forgot my #SummerSTAQ tag on Alaina's post.

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

Thursday kicks off with Alaina Green (@JQInews ) showing how ions satisfy the DiVincenzo Criteria for quantum computing.

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"When someone like me tells you something doesn't work, it is your job as a young researcher to prove them wrong." (all the #SummerSTAQ quotes are paraphrases at best).

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

Marko Cetina (@DukePhysics , #DQC) continues with "subtler" details of atomic ions. #SummerSTAQ

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"You can make an ion trap in your garage that can trap large charged particles."

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"T1 is basically infinity"

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"For a classical computer, there is no distinction between an analog computation with finite precision and a digital computation."

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

This afternoon Peter Love (@TuftsUniversity ) gives a tutorial on quantum simulation at #SummerSTAQ .

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

@IllinoisQuantum "Building quantum computers will also lead to the construction of multi-ensemble atomic clocks."

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

Day 2 of #SummerSTAQ starts with an overview of neutral atom quantum computers presented by Jake Covey (UIUC, @IllinoisQuantum).

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"You can write down the whole 100 qubit state in the compuational basis, but you probably don't have the time."

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

The #SummerSTAQ continues along with Akimasa Miyake (@UNMpanda ) with an introduction on quantum information and entanglement.

[Kenneth Brown @kenbrownquantum]

"Entanglement is a quantum correlation that is somewhat stronger than a classical correlation"
