group meeting 18.08
by Volkher Scholz 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hi everybody, We will meet as usual at 4pm. Today’s talk is by Akshat Kumar from Sandia National Labs, Livermore, CA, USA on "model reduction for quantum dynamics: symmetries and invariant subspaces”, see below. see you there, Volkher abstract: We investigate methods for identifying reduced-order models of the dynamics generated by parameterized quantum Hamiltonians. In particular, we develop methods to characterize, identify and exploit invariant subspaces defined by a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian model and initial state. Further, by exploiting properties of the generalized Pauli group we provide some more efficient methods for dynamics generated by certain spin Hamiltonians. ******************************* Volkher Scholz ETH Zurich Institute for Theoretical Physics HIT K31.4 Wolfgang-Pauli-Strasse 27 8093 Zurich, Switzerland
