Resources for Families
The JQI offers a parental use and lactation room, located in Atlantic 2222. We recognize that this may not provide a convenient place for all JQI parents, so we work with the Department of Physics to accommodate those whose offices and labs are located in the Toll Building, the Physical Science Complex, and elsewhere. Additionally, Engineering has a room located in Martin Hall. For information on that facility, visit http://www.eng.umd.edu/facstaff/women-parental-room.
Analog Quantum Simulation of Topological Lattice Models with a Parametric Cavity
Abstract: There has been a growing interest in realizing quantum simulators for physical systems where perturbative methods are ineffective. The scalability and flexibility of circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) make it a promising platform to implement various types of simulators, including lattice models of strongly-coupled field theories. Here, we use a multimode superconducting parametric cavity as a hardware-efficient analog quantum simulator, realizing a lattice in synthetic dimensions with complex hopping interactions.
