ICTS

With the advent of modern noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, the synergy between quantum many-body physics and quantum information is stronger than ever. Quantum information concepts have led to the characterisation of novel quantum phases, both in and out of equilibrium, in many-body systems. Properties such as entanglement structure and information scrambling have provided new insights into the equilibrium and dynamical behavior of these systems. While NISQ devices are a stepping stone towards future fault-tolerant quantum computers, advancements in this direction are greatly benefiting from progress in both theoretical and experimental quantum physics. These include fundamental insights into the dynamics of quantum systems, whether isolated or influenced by environmental noise, and the classification of quantum materials essential for device platforms. Such understanding informs the potential of NISQ devices to discover exotic quantum states that could serve as resources for quantum computing. The Discussion Meeting aims to bring together experts across these fields to foster a productive exchange of ideas.

ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.
