Demonstration of a quantum anomaly induced by borders on photonic chip

20 June 2024 • 12:30 PM - 12:50 PM EDT | Univ. of Waterloo, QNC Room 0101

Abstract

We theoretically predict a quantum anomaly induced by borders and observe/emulate the predicted anomaly between two phases having topologically different boundary conditions for the Mott insulator on a finite-size photonic lattice.

Prof. Lianao Wu received his Ph.D in Physics from Jilin University in 1989 and did his postdoctoral research at Tennessee University, USA (1991). Then he served as an associate professor and full professor at the Department of Physics, Jilin University, China (1991-1999). His research interests then included: quantum many-body problems of nuclear system and condensed matter, fundamental problems of quantum mechanics. He was a visiting professor in Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka, Japan (1996 – 1997), with research fields includling theoretical quantum many-body problem. During the year 2000 to 2008, He was a researcher in Center for Quantum Information & Quantum Control, University of Toronto, Canada, when his research focused on quantum computation. He became an Ikerbasque Professor in Ikerbasque Foundation and Department of Physics, The Basque Country University, Spain (2008 – present). His research interests are on quantum computation, quantum information and control.
