Seminars

On an irregular basis various Special Seminars take place at the MPQ. The seminars are organized by scientists of our divisions, administration or staff representatives. The location will be announced with the event.

Non-symmorphic route to nodal semimetals (Tomas Bzdusek)

  • Date: Nov 23, 2016
  • Time: 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Tomas Bzdusek
  • Institute for Theoretical Physics, ETH Zürich, Switzerland
  • Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
  • Host: MPQ, Theory Division
Nodal semimetals are materials in which the conduction and the valence bands touch at points or lines in the Brillouin zone. Such nodal band structures manifest themselves in unusual transport phenomena as well as in topologically protected surface states. ... [more]

Understanding Contextuality as a Quantum Computational Resource without Wigner Functions (Dr. J. Bermejo-Vega)

  • Attention! Today!
  • Date: Nov 18, 2016
  • Time: 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM (Local Time Germany)
  • Speaker: Dr. Juan Bermejo-Vega
  • Freie Universität Berlin, formerly ExQM/Q
  • Room: Herbert Walther Lecture Hall
  • Host: MPQ, Theory Division
A central question in quantum computation is to identify the resources that are responsible for quantum speed-up. Quantum contextuality has been recently shown to be a resource for quantum computation with magic states for odd-prime dimensional qudits and two-dimensional systems with real wavefunctions. ...
