SUMMARY:Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:  Quantum field theories from quantum cellular automata \nSpeaker: Todd Brun\, USC Viterbi School of Engineering \nHosted by:  Duke Quantum Center \nAbstract:  Work done in collaboration with Leonard Mlodin \nQuantum walks (QWs) are unitary analogues of classical random walks\, and quantum cellular automata (QCAs) are unitary analogues of classical cellular automata. The QW on the 3D body-centered cubic lattice gives rise to solutions of the Dirac equation in the long-wavelength limit\, both in 1D and 3D; in 1D\, a two-dimensional internal space is required\, and in 3D a four-dimensional internal space. QWs can be treated as the one-particle sector of a QCA\, so it is natural to seek QCAs that give rise to quantum field theories in a similar limit.  This can be done fairly straightforwardly in one spatial dimension\, with the QCA being naturally described in terms of creation and annihilation operators that create or destroy particle locally\, evolve simply under the QCA unitary\, and obey the usual anticommutation relations.  However\, generalizing this construction to two or more spatial dimensions fails:  the requirements of anticommuting creation and annihilation operators are inconsistent with a local QCA.  For a QCA to give rise to a fermionic quantum field theory in the long-wavelength limit\, one must give up at least one desired property of the QCA. To evade this no-go theorem\, one can let the local subsystems become high-dimensional\, and restrict to the completely antisymmetric subspace of a larger space. Bosonic QCAs can also be constructed; these do not have the same problem with anticommutation\, but also require high-dimensional local subsystems. Taking these constructions as a model of particles propagating in discrete spacetime\, the discreteness could be detected using non-parallel matter interferometers. Finally\, we consider the problem of adding fermion-boson interactions\, and progress towards constructing a fully interacting QCA model\, and the potential for using QCAs to simulate quantum field theory. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu
