Quantum Simulations of Topological Majorana Modes Your formal invite to weekly Qiskit videos ► https://ibm.biz/q-subscribe Speakers: Oles Shtanko Host: Zlatko Minev, PhD. Abstract: Modern quantum devices can now outperform classical computers in physical simulations, which makes them an important tool for future physics research. As an example, I will focus on simulating the topological states of matter hosting Majorana modes -- the exotic “half-electron” states. Observing Majorana modes in the lab remains elusive, despite their importance for creating a new generation of protected quantum computing. However, I will demonstrate that anyone can recreate topological Majorana modes through cloud-based quantum simulations. Hence, we explore new perspectives in physics provided by the current generation of quantum hardware. Bio: Oles Shtanko received his PhD degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2019, and has been a part of the quantum computing theory group at IBM since 2021. His current interests include quantum simulations, quantum algorithms, and the effect of noise in quantum systems. In his research, Oles focuses on the near-term applications of quantum computing in science and technology. -- The Qiskit Seminar Series is a deep dive into various academic and research topics within the quantum community. It will feature community members and leaders every Friday, 12 PM EDT.
