Tips for making peer review easy, fruitful, and successfully sharing your research
Abstract: Publishing an article requires not only scientific expertise but also engagement with the broader community, which is aided in many ways by editors. I'll share my perspective on peer review and provide some tips for successfully writing and publishing your next article. I will also show some data about the research from the University of Maryland that is published in the Physical Review journals. Finally, I hope to convince you that PRX Quantum is an excellent venue for publishing your results of interest to quantum science.
Analog Quantum Simulation of Topological Lattice Models with a Parametric Cavity
Abstract: There has been a growing interest in realizing quantum simulators for physical systems where perturbative methods are ineffective. The scalability and flexibility of circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) make it a promising platform to implement various types of simulators, including lattice models of strongly-coupled field theories. Here, we use a multimode superconducting parametric cavity as a hardware-efficient analog quantum simulator, realizing a lattice in synthetic dimensions with complex hopping interactions.

Error Mitigation Thresholds in Noisy Quantum Circuits
Abstract: Noise in quantum devices can be corrected with quantum error correction or it can be mitigated via classical post-processing. The latter can be done with negligible overhead in the space-time volume of the quantum circuit, but will generally incur exponential overhead in sampling complexity. We use statistical-mechanical arguments to discuss the limits of error mitigation in quantum circuits. We show that noisy random quantum circuit models with imperfectly characterized noise remain robust to imperfections at a finite rate of disorder, before exhibiting a diso
Quantum technology for the real world
Abstract: Quantum sensors will broadly impact industries including transportation and logistics,telecommunications, aerospace, defense, and geophysical exploration. They offer transformativeperformance gains over conventional technologies; atomic clocks are precise to 1 second in 50 billionyears. However, these laboratory devices are large, fragile, and expensive. Commercial quantum

Exploring one-dimensional Z2 lattice gauge theories
Abstract: Although lattice gauge theories are primarily considered in particle physics, they are also a valuable platform to study strongly correlated quantum systems in condensed-matter physics. Particularly interesting is the study of confinement, which can arise when dynamical charges are coupled to gauge fields. In this talk, I will present our recent work on a one-dimensional Z2 lattice gauge theory (LGT), where dynamical matter is coupled to Z2 gauge field [1].
Quantum Simulation for Nuclear Effective Field Theories
Quantum computers offer the potential to perform simulations of nuclear processes that are infeasible for classical devices.
Subtleties in chiral anomalies and time crystals – a progress report
Abstract: I will discuss two topics that I have been collaborating on in CMTC. The first involves a careful study of an analog of the chiral anomaly in one dimension that was motivated by work from the Galitski group at Maryland which showed that the response of the chiral charge to electromagnetic fields could be affected by interactions. At the same time, the chiral anomaly, when it arises at boundaries of topological phases, is known to be associated with topological terms that cannot be renormalized.
