DESCRIPTION:Prof. Juan Felipe Carrasquilla Alvarez\nPlease join us for t
 he QSE Center Quantum Seminar with Prof. Juan Felipe Carrasquilla Alv
 arez from ETHZ\, who will give the talk "Language Models for the Simula
 tion of Quantum Many-Body Systems" on Thursday April 11.\nLocation: MA A3
  30\n\nPizzas will be available before the seminar at 12:00. All PhDs\, p
 ostdocs\, students\, and PIs are welcome to join us.\n\nTITLE: Language M
 odels for the Simulation of Quantum Many-Body Systems\n\nABSTRACT:  In th
 is talk\, I will discuss our work on using models inspired by natural lang
 uage processing in the realm of quantum many-body physics. I will demonstr
 ate their utility in solving ground states of quantum Hamiltonians\, parti
 cularly for ground states of arrays of Rydberg atoms on the Kagome lattice
 .\nOur results align with recent quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations\, i
 ndicating the absence of a spin liquid phase previously predicted by tenso
 r networks. However\, our results also suggest the absence of a spin-glass
  phase previously predicted via QMC simulations and instead support the ex
 istence of a highly frustrated paramagnetic phase.These findings highlight
  the potential of using language models to explore Rydberg atom array phys
 ics on exotic lattices and beyond.\n\nBIO: Prof. Alvarez's research inter
 ests lie at the intersection of computational condensed matter physics\, q
 uantum computing\, and machine learning. He obtained his PhD in Physics fr
 om SISSA\, the International School for Advanced Studies in Italy. Subsequ
 ently\, he held positions as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgetown Universit
 y\, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Perimeter Institute\, a Research Scientis
 t at D-Wave Systems Inc.\, and a Research Scientist at the Vector Institut
 e. Since 2024\, he has been an Associate Professor of Computational Physic
 s at ETH.
