High Energy Physics in the Quantum Era

2 Dec 2024, 02:00 → 4 Dec 2024, 17:20 Asia/Tokyo

Kobayashi Hall (KEK Tsukuba Campus)

This workshop is co-hosted by KEK Theory Center and RIKEN iTHEMS to inaugurate their new partnership in theoretical studies of high energy physics and related subjects with special emphasis on development and application of quantum technologies.

The workshop aims for developing new connection between particle physics and quantum information/technologies. In the situation where significant progress is expected in the field of quantum information and technologies, it is quite important to discuss how such progress can be used in physics researches. Also, new techniques or new theoretical formulations of quantum field theory/quantum gravity may give deeper understanding of our quantum world. In this workshop, we would like to have world-leading researchers both from particle physics and quantum technologies, and drive lively discussions on future prospects.  

We are trying to limit the number of talks to be as minimal as possible, so that we have plenty of time for discussions. The workshop is in-person only. 

Invited speakers:

• Christian Bauer (LBNL) "Simulating SU(3) YM theory in the large Nc limit"
• Patrick Draper (U. Illinois) "quantum simulations for high energy physics (tentative)"
• Shion Chen (Kyoto U.) "Dark matter searches using superconducting qubits"

• Joseph Lykken (Fermilab) "Wormhole teleportation and the SYK model"
• Enrico Rinaldi (Quantinuum/RIKEN) "Lattice QED in 2D: computing the static potential with trapped-ion devices"
• Slava Rychkov (IHES) "Conformal bootstrap and S-matrix bootstrap approaches to quantum field theory - an overview"
• Jesse Stryker (LBNL) "TBA"
• Koji Terashi (ICEPP, U. Tokyo) "Quantum Applications to Machine Learning, Simulation and Sensing Experiments at UTokyo ICEPP"
• Neill Warrington (MIT) "Many Body Physics in Superconducting Devices"
• Seiji Yunoki (RIKEN) "Quantum computational science for quantum many-body systems in condensed matter physics"
