Please join us on Wednesday, Sep 23 at 4pm in the Time room for a quantum information seminar by Christopher Ferrie.Title: Self-guided quantum systemsAbstract: I’ll present new approaches to the problems of quantum control and quantum tomography wherein no classical simulation is required. The experiment itself performs the simulation (in situ) and, in a sense, guides itself to the correct solution. The algorithm is iterative and makes use of ideas from stochastic optimization theory.
