Quantum circuit as a lens into quantum phases and phase transitions
时 间：17:00-18:00, July 30, 2026 (Thu)地 点：RM 1-222, FIT Building内容：Quantum systems host fascinating phases like superconductivity, quantum Hall, topological order, etc that have no classical counterpart. Understanding what quantum phases exist and how phase transitions happen between them is the ultimate goal of condensed matter. But this is notoriously hard, especially in systems w...

Structural melting in two-dimensional trapped ion crystals
时 间：16:00-16:45, Jul 24, 2026 (Fri)地 点：RM 1-222, FIT Building内容：We investigate the structural properties, including isomerization, and melting behavior of two-dimensional ion crystals in an RF trap, focusing on the effects of ion temperature and trap potential anisotropy. We identify distinct crystal structures that form under varying trapping conditions and temperatures through ex...

Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulation of Chemical Dynamics beyond Born-Oppenheimer
时 间：10:00-10:45, Jul 24, 2026 (Fri)地 点：RM 1-222, FIT Building内容：Understanding how molecular vibrations afiect charge and energy transfer in complex chemical and biological systems requires modeling the interactions among the electronic, spin, and vibrational degrees of freedom, which cannot be treated independently, especially when the Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down. Tr...

On Minimax Exponents of Sparse Submatrix Detection
时 间：13:30-15:00, Jul 15, 2026 (Wed)地 点：RM 1-222, FIT Building内容：We consider the exact asymptotics of the minimax risk for detecting an elevated-mean sparse submatrix in a large Gaussian random matrix. Although there exists a precise characterization of when and how asymptotic consistency is possible for such testing problems, there is limited understanding of the exact minimax risk...

Towards Trustworthy Cooperative AI: Simulating, Aligning, and Constraining Multi-Agent Systems
时 间：15:00-16:00, Jul 9, 2026 (Thu)地 点：RM 1-202, FIT Building内容：As AI systems increasingly operate as autonomous agents, intelligence is becoming inherently social. Future AI systems will not act in isolation, but will learn, coordinate, communicate, and make decisions alongside humans and other agents in open-ended environments. This shift raises fundamental challenges: How can age...

Quantum Simulation, Quantum Learning, and Quantum Sensing with Programmable Atomic Systems
时 间：10:00-11:30, Jul 6, 2026 (Mon)地 点：Lecture Hall, FIT Building内容：Programmable atomic systems offer a powerful route to quantum simulation of strongly correlated many-body dynamics beyond the reach of classical computation. As an introductory example, I will briefly discuss implementations of lattice gauge theories, where atomic, ionic, and Rydberg platforms enable controlled stud...
