DESCRIPTION:Abstract: As the computational resources for existing quantum 
 devices continue to grow\, so too does their potential to help us analyze
  quantum experimental data and learn about the physical universe. In this
  talk\, I will describe recent progress towards understanding the fundame
 ntal capabilities and limitations of near- and intermediate-term devices 
 for such tasks. In the first part of the talk\, I will provide a gentle s
 urvey on our work in this direction over the last few years\, focusing on
  the tradeoff between statistical complexity and quantum memory for funda
 mental tasks like full tomography\, state certification\, shadow tomograp
 hy\, Pauli channel estimation\, and purity estimation. In the second part
  of the talk\, I will describe a new general framework for proving tradeo
 ffs between the amount of data one has available and the computational co
 mplexity needed for quantum learning\, inspired by tools from the literat
 ure on information-computation gaps for classical statistical inference.\

DESCRIPTION:Ion-molecule reactions are fundamental to the chemistry that d
 rives processes in the interstellar medium\, but experimental measurement
 s of these reactions are scarce due to significant technical challenges. 
 We apply techniques from the cold atom field to examine ion-molecule reac
 tions under well-controlled conditions that replicate the environment of 
 space.\n\nBenzene\, a key precursor to larger polycyclic aromatic hydroca
 rbons (PAHs)\, has long been proposed to form in space through a sequence
  initiated by acetylene protonation. We present the first experimental st
 udy of this pathway under single-collision conditions and find that\, con
 trary to predictions\, it terminates at the formation of C₆H₅⁺-a species 
 unreactive to both acetylene and hydrogen\, which disproves a widely cite
 d mechanism for interstellar benzene formation.\n\nBuilding on this appro
 ach\, we extend our investigation to related ion-molecule systems and fin
 d a consistent trend: reactions of small carbocations and neutral molecul
 es proceed through successive additions until an aromatic molecule is for
 med\, at which point the ion is unreactive. This behavior suggests that a
 romatic stabilization acts as a natural endpoint for many interstellar io
 n-molecule growth processes\, which has important implications for unders
 tanding the origins and abundance of PAHs in space.\n---\nHeather Lewando

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Entanglement is a distinctive feature of quantum mec
 hanics\, yet precisely characterizing its advantages in quantum informati
 on processing can be challenging. In this talk\, we demonstrate that quan
 tum entanglement can provide exponential speedup in learning physical pro
 cesses\, on both discrete-variable and continuous-variable quantum system
 s. We show such advantages persist even under realistic imperfections\, a
 nd experimentally demonstrate the advantages on two different platforms. 
 Concretely\, the first result is about learning n-qubit Pauli channels\, 
 with applications in scalable noise characterization of superconducting q
 ubits\; The second result is about learning n-mode bosonic random displac
 ement channels\, with demonstrations on a quantum photonic platform. Our 
 work highlights a new paradigm of practical quantum advantages and provid
 es new insights on the usefulness of quantum entanglement as a resource.\

 ns\, and photonic modes provide long-distance connectivity. In this talk\
 , I will discuss our past work on developing quantum interconnects across
  these platforms-linking Rydberg atoms\, superconducting microwave caviti
 es\, and photonic channels-and outline ongoing efforts in my group toward
  building modular hybrid architectures for quantum state transfer\, entan
 glement generation\, and networked quantum processors.\n\nBio: Aziza Sule
 ymanzade is an Assistant Professor of Physics at UC Berkeley. Her group e
 xplores hybrid quantum systems that combine Rydberg atoms\, superconducti
 ng circuits\, and nanophotonics. Her research focuses on creating novel q
 uantum interfaces and generating entanglement resources that link these p
 latforms for quantum information processing\, communication\, and sensing
 . Prior to joining Berkeley\, Aziza was a postdoctoral scholar at Harvard
  University\, working on silicon-vacancy-based quantum networks in diamon
 d nanophotonic cavities. She earned her Ph.D. in Physics from the Univers
 ity of Chicago\, where her dissertation on Rydberg cavity-QED in optical 
 and superconducting cavities earned the 2023 Deborah Jin Award for Outsta
 nding Doctoral Thesis. She received an undergraduate degree in Physics fr
 om Harvard University.\n---\nUpcoming seminars:\n\n20 Nov: Jeff Thompson\

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: How can quantum hardware learn useful features when 
 labeled data are scarce? In this talk\, I will present our recent work de
 monstrating quantum machine learning via contrastive training on a progra
 mmable trapped-ion quantum computer. We use a self-supervised approach to
  pretrain quantum representations from unlabeled examples\, with image si
 milarity defined directly through measured quantum overlaps on hardware. 
 This allows both representation learning and classification to be perform
 ed in situ on the quantum processor. We find that contrastive pretraining
  leads to higher classification accuracy\, lower variability\, and especi
 ally strong improvements when only limited labeled data are available. Be
 yond the specific image-classification setting\, this work suggests a pra
 ctical path toward label-efficient quantum representation learning on nea
 r-term devices. I will conclude by discussing how this framework could be
  extended to larger images\, richer datasets\, and physics-driven applica
 tions\, including settings motivated by condensed matter and many-body qu
 antum systems.\n---\nUpcoming seminars\n2 Apr: TBA \n16 Apr: TBA \n23 Apr

DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Quantum computing imposes stringent requirements for
  the precise control of large-scale qubit systems\, including\, for examp
 le\, microsecond-latency feedback and nanosecond-precision timing of giga
 hertz signals-demands that far exceed the capabilities of conventional re
 al-time systems. The rapidly evolving and highly diverse nature of quantu
 m control necessitates the development of specialized hardware accelerato
 rs. While a few custom real-time systems have been developed to meet the 
 tight timing constraints of specific quantum platforms\, they face major 
 challenges in scaling and adapting to increasingly complex control demand
 s-largely due to fragmented toolchains and limited support for design aut
 omation. \n\nTo address these limitations\, we present RISC-Q---an open-s
 ource flexible generator for Quantum Control System-on-Chip (QCSoC) desig
 ns\, featuring a programming interface compatible with the RISC-V ecosyst
 em. Developed using SpinalHDL\, RISC-Q enables efficient automation of hi
 ghly parameterized and modular QCSoC architectures\, supporting agile and
  iterative development to meet the evolving demands of quantum control. \
