For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Probing quantum entanglement from magnetic-sublevels populations: beyond spin squeezing inequalities 8:38

for 2 years siden8:38

8:38

Today I review this paper : In this episode, we discuss a new approach to detecting quantum entanglement in many-body systems. The approach is based on Zeeman-sublevel population measurements, and it is more sensitive to entanglement than traditional methods. We explore how this approach can be used to study entanglement in spin-1 and spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates, and we discuss the implications of the results for the development of new quantum technologies. To read the summary, look at our WordPress or Medium .…

QKD parameter estimation by two-universal hashing 4:52

for 2 years siden4:52

4:52

Dimiter Ostrev proposes a new QKD protocol that uses two-universal hashing instead of random sampling to estimate the number of bit flip and phase flip errors. This protocol dramatically outperforms previous QKD protocols for small block sizes. Check out the original paper , or read my medium or WordPress versions of the summary.…

An Improved Sample Complexity Lower Bound for (Fidelity) Quantum State Tomography 2:44

https://quantumsumm.wordpress.com/2023/06/19/an-improved-sample-complexity-lower-bound-for-fidelity-quantum-state-tomography/ https://medium.com/@quantumsumm/an-improved-sample-complexity-lower-bound-for-fidelity-quantum-state-tomography-90c1629664a8 As this paper is so short, it is a worthwhile read for anyone and good practice for getting into the habit of reading papers. Although it is very dense (as most quantum papers are) the four pages it takes up are in no way a waste of time. It may even take less time than this podcast, but you can't drive while doing that. https://quantum-journal.org/papers/q-2023-01-03-890/…

Fluid fermionic fragments for optimizing quantum measurements of electronic Hamiltonians in the variational quantum eigensolver 7:02

for 2 years siden7:02

7:02

The F3 method is a promising new method for optimizing the measurements of electronic Hamiltonians in the VQE. It has the potential to make the VQE more accurate and efficient, and it could make it possible to study molecules that are too large to be studied with the standard VQE method. Read the summary of this paper one of these places! https://medium.com/@quantumsumm/fluid-fermionic-fragments-for-optimizing-quantum-measurements-of-electronic-hamiltonians-in-the-4d8f862fa22c https://quantumsumm.wordpress.com/2023/06/15/fluid-fermionic-fragments-for-optimizing-quantum-measurements-of-electronic-hamiltonians-in-the-variational-quantum-eigensolver/…

I'm on Medium! 3:02

for 2 years siden3:02

3:02

I'm not going to abandon WordPress or the podcasts. They all have their places. I believe they all fill different niches. Please check out my work there if you would like, it's another way to support the work I'm doing. Quantum is a hard place to be if you can't read well, and I hope to ease that. The podcast is part of that. I imagine that many of my listeners are using the podcast to multitask and I love it. And yes, Medium does produce an audio version, but still I think it's key to have a proper podcast. As I am able to commit more time to this, the podcast listeners will be the first to benefit. What do you do while listening?…
