[View More]development of relatively large scale (128-qubit) quantum annealing processors, the question of whether such processors can generate and utilize entanglement between their qubits, especially in the presence of a thermal environment, becomes crucial. In this presentation, I will provide experimental evidence for the presence of entangled eigenstates in the multi-qubit energy spectrum of the processor when implementing example problems. The eigenstates are detected using a newly developed tunneling spectroscopy technique and the resulting eigen-spectrum is compared with the theoretical predictions. I will also show that the thermal mixed state of the processor can become entangled during the quantum annealing of these problems. Such thermal entanglement is robust and does not vanish with time, indicating that the processor can employ robust quantum resources for solving problems.

Hi all,
some last minute changes for the group meeting tomorrow:
1. Markus Mueller will give a short talk, in addition to Anthony Leverrier
2. we meet again in F31.2, which is the new usual room. Same time,
though: 16:30.
In addition, if you want to add the group meeting calendar to your own
google calendar (or anything using .ics calendar files), here's the

Dear all
The NCCR QSIT organizes periodically a 'Special Lecture for master and PhD Students in Physics'.
This semester the lecture will be given by
Prof. Mildred Dresselhaus
MIT, Cambridge, USA
For more than 50 years she has studied the properties of carbon in its different appearances, like graphite, fullerenes, or carbon nanotubes.
Several physical theories are named after Dresselhaus and she was recently awarded the 2012 Kavli Prize in Nanoscience.
Date: Tuesday October 23, 2012
