Applications of the Quantum Kernel Method on a Superconducting Quantum Processor
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-29)The widespread benefits of classical machine learning along with promised speedups by quantum algorithms over their best performing classical counterparts have motivated development of quantum machine learning algorithms ... -
New Aspects of Quantum Interactions: Acceleration-Induced Transparency, Newton’s Cradle Spectra, Superoscillations
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-12)We present new results on different aspects of quantum interactions, from new phenomena to new mathematical tools. First, two new phenomena of light-matter interactions are presented: the stimulated Unruh effect and ... -
Novel Heat-Bath Algorithmic Cooling methods
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-20)The field of quantum information has inspired new methods for cooling physical systems at the quantum scale by manipulating entropy in an algorithmic way, such as heat-bath algorithmic cooling (HBAC). These methods not ... -
An Operational Road towards Understanding Causal Indefiniteness within Post-Quantum Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-07)A theory, whatever it does, must correlate data. We commit ourselves to operational methodology, as a means towards studying the space of Generalised Probability Theories that are compatible with Indefinite Causality. Such ... -
Standard model physics from abstract mathematical objects?
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-22)This thesis constitutes a first attempt to derive aspects of standard model particle physics from purely abstract mathematical objects. We begin abstractly with an algebra, and argue that physical concepts such as particles, ... -
Toward a theory of everything
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-21)A physical theory of everything is supposed to tell us: (1) The dynamical laws for matter and gravity; (2) The boundary condition of the universe; (3) The relation between the theory and experience. I present a personal ...
