A quantum computing approach to efficiently simulating correlated materials using impurity models and dynamical mean field theory The accurate theoretical description of materials with strongly correlated electrons is a formidable challenge, at the forefront of condensed matter physics and computational chemistry alike, and it i...

New on arXiv: A quantum computing approach to efficiently simulating correlated materials using impurity models and dynamical mean field theory

Excited to share this work from my collaborators and I! We advocate for quantum usefulness for the simulation of real materials

my first APS March Meeting was mid but I got this sick photo 🫡

Barren plateaus in variational quantum computing - Nature Reviews Physics Barren plateaus are widely considered as one of the main limitations for variational quantum algorithms. This Review summarizes the latest understandings of barren plateaus, indicating its causes, arc...

🎉I am very happy to see our Barren Plateau Review published in Nature Review Physics. This article condenses 6 years of our LANL work, but also so many amazing papers by the community!!

This is so awesome, congrats to you and the team 🤩

i’m def not a chemist but i’m pretty sure your tastebuds just adapt to the unique flavor after the initial taste and all subsequent grapes will be less and less potent and rather just be normal sweet flavoring

🚨Applications for LANL's 2025 Quantum Computing Summer School are open!

Reposts appreciated!

overleaf is down

you know someone works in quantum physics when they know the decimal form of 1/sqrt(2)

update: I will Murder Everyone who Won’t Share their Code on Covariance Matrices

physics higher powers: let me make a valid covariance matrix today and have a good meeting with my collaborators after a long time of no progress please and thank you!!!

now kith 🥰

i’m bringing radiohead back while waiting for new tyler…

my love made me churros last night. they look like shit from a butt but damn they were so good…

cryptid photo

tons of work in spectral gaps on the quant-ph arxiv today… getting flashbacks

A molecular model with N orbitals requires N qubits when mapped to a digital quantum computer - this becomes expensive for large active spaces. Our publication shows how to include more orbitals perturbatively without more qubits

how it feels to leave tw*tter

twitter is so bad. like the worst most disgusting racism and transphobia i’ve ever seen every 10 posts

i need to use this more and curate the content i want to see! not sure why my discover is just anime girls atp 😭😭😭

#quantathonv1 was a success! exhausting, but my team and I pulled off something really cool, actually! Maybe expect to see a paper on molecular spectroscopy on quantum devices 😉

yes i miss your posts 💔

First order transition in Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO$_4$)$_6$O... Lee et al. reported that the compound LK99, with a chemical formula of Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO$_4$)$_6$O ($0.9<x<1.1$), exhibits room-temperature superconductivity under ambient pressure. In this...

It’s so over 😭 while this is sad to see LK99 is explained by a well understood structural phase transition rather than SC, it still gives me hope to know we can make and understand exotic materials and, hopefully, one day we find one that acts like a RTAP SC!

finally… python 3 installed to the remote host 💕 can’t believe I was trying to build it myself before I just decided to let anaconda do it for me 🤪

I need more physics peeps to follow here, my entire timeline is politics bleughhshh 😣

there is something new about the latest RTAP superconductor discovery like every day, it’s gotta be the most hopping topic in physics that we’ve had in decades
