CCPQ Windsor2021 — 8th workshop on Dynamics of Complex Quantum Systems

This workshop on the "Complex Quantum Systems: a quantum computing perspective" is to be held at Cumberland Lodge, 26th - 29th July 2021. Its aim is to bring together both experimentalists and theorists from across the UK and Europe working on realising, simulating and modelling complex quantum systems across atomic, molecular and condensed matter physics. The major focus will be on new mathematical and computational methods, the discussion of novel experimental result and the challenges of modelling them, and an over-arching theme of exploring how quantum computation can accelerate scientific computing in these domains.

Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: cold atoms in optical lattices, quantum materials, superconductivity and superfluidity, nanomechanical oscillators in cavities, phase transitions, non-equilibrium dynamics, coherence and entanglement, environment engineering for small scale quantum technologies, novel architectures for quantum simulations and quantum computation. To complement this physics we also expect a wide variety of numerical methodologies, such as tensor network theory, dynamical mean-field theory, quantum Monte Carlo and electronic structure calculations to be represented. Discussion of potential near-future acceleration of these techniques using hybrid classical-quantum computational approaches will be a highlight of the workshop.
