Abstract: Long-range entangled states of matter encompass a variety of exotic quantum phenomena, ranging from topological orders to quantum criticality. In this talk, I will discuss recent advances in leveraging mid-circuit measurements and unitary feedback to efficiently generate these entangled many-body states. A particular focus will be a general approach that can (i) universally convert certain short-range entangled quantum phases into a corresponding long-range quantum order and (ii) generate quantum critical correlations from certain gapped phases of matter in constant depth.
Pizza and drinks will be served after the seminar in ATL 2117.
