  • Quantum Lunch Seminar Speaker. Dr. Tameem Albash is a theorist working at the interface of classical and quantum computing. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics studying applications of AdS/CFT to condensed matter systems at the University of Southern of California (USC) in 2010. He continued at USC as a postdoc and subsequently joined the Information Sciences Institute at USC, where he worked on open quantum system simulations, quantum annealing and more generally adiabatic quantum computing. In 2019, Dr. Albash joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the University of New Mexico. He has a joint appointment in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and is an associate member of the Center for Quantum Information and Control.

  • I am a theoretical plasma physicist with interests ranging from fundamental plasma theory to fusion, space and astrophysical plasmas. I tend to work on nonlinear problems of plasma dynamics that can typically only be addressed via state-of-the-art numerical computations or, in some cases, approximate analytical methods guided by a phenomenological understanding of the phenomena at hand; often, I employ a combination of both. Rather than focus on the details of plasma behavior in specific environments, I frequently opt to identify and study the essential ingredients of a given plasma phenomenon, thereby rendering my results more widely applicable than otherwise. Thus, some of my research has been found relevant to a large variety of environments, from fusion devices and the solar corona to exotic astrophysical phenomena such blazars and gamma-ray bursts.

Martin Voegele, Schroedinger, Inc.
Lorenza Viola, Dartmouth College
Matthias Maier
  • Host: Eric Tovar
  • Host Org: T-CNLS
  • Visit Dates: Oct. 3rd, 2022 to Oct. 7th, 2022.
  • Dr. Matthias Maier is an expert in numerical analysis with a focus on computational methods for hydrodynamics. He will be visiting the Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) and the XCP-2/T-3 groups at LANL to contribute his expertise to the Integrated Codes project within the Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program. This visit will thus directly benefit the ASC program and LANL. During his visit to LANL, Dr. Maier will meet with Dr. Eric Tovar (XCP-2), Dr. Roseanne Cheng (T-3) and Dr. Jeff Peterson (XCP-2) as well as other members of the groups to discuss the development of robust, higher-order methods for hydrodynamics. As part of his visit, Dr. Maier will give a talk in CNLS on this topic. Dr. Maier will also visit with Dr. Mark Schraad (XCP-DO) and Dr. Marianne Francois (T-DO) to help build collaborative efforts between LANL and academic institutions such as Texas A&M University.

Robin Delabays, UC Santa Barbara
  • Host Org: T-CNLS
  • Visit Dates: Apr. 11th, 2022 to Apr. 15th, 2022.
  • Dr. Delabays is an expert in oscillator networks and synchronization phenomena. He will be visiting Center for Nonlinear Studies (CNLS) and Advanced Network Science Initiative (ANSI) group at LANL to contribute his expertise to one of the critical projects for ANSI, the Real-time Valuation of Sensor Reliability project which is a part of the DOE Office of Electricity portfolio. This visit will thus directly benefit ANSI and LANL. During his visit to LANL, Dr. Delabays will meet with Dr. Andrey Lokhov, Dr. Marc Vuffray, Dr. Russell Bent, and Dr. Melvyn Tyloo to discuss localization of forced oscillations in power grids. As a part of his visit, Dr. Delabays will give a talk about his recent work in this area.

  • Inferring classical objectivity from monogamy of correlations I discuss quantitative bounds to the amount of classical and quantum correlations which can be shared between a quantum system and a network of independent observers that monitor the system environment. As a result, the amount of quantum information that an observer can extract about a quantum system from monitoring a small environment fragment is almost zero, while the classical information is inevitably almost maximal. I discuss the result in the context of the Quantum Darwinism program. Then, I show how such monogamy relations can be verified without performing hard numerical optimizations, by recasting them in terms of the conditional mutual information.
