Quantum Simulation of Photonics and for Photonics
Last Updated: 2026-06-03 00:14:41
Abstract
Photonic systems consisting of emitters and cavities are promising platforms for analog quantum simulation of materials and high energy physics. At the same time insights into the underlying physics of open photonic systems can be gained in quantum simulation on near-term quantum computers.
Objective
The goal of this course is to train graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in techniques for quantum simulation of emitter-cavity systems and all-photonic simulation of high energy physics phenomena. Students will obtain hands-on practice in classical and quantum simulation.
Content
Emitters, cavities, Jaynes-Cummings model, Tavis-Cummings model, open quantum system treatment of cavity quantum electrodynamics, recent methods in quantum simulation of open quantum systems, quantum programming, quantum error mitigation.
