DESCRIPTION:Cristina Cirstoiu\nPlease join us for the QSE Center Quantu
 m Seminar with Cristina Cirstoiu from Quantinuum\, who will give the t
 alk "From noisy quantum simulation to logical benchmarking on trapped-ion
  devices" on Thursday May 22nd.\nLocation: CM 1 121.\n\nPizzas will be av
 ailable before the seminar at 12:00. All PhDs\, postdocs\, students\, and
  PIs are welcome to join us.\n\nTITLE: "From noisy quantum simulation to 
 logical benchmarking on trapped-ion device"\n\nABSTRACT: \nContinued impr
 ovements in two-qubit gate fidelity on Quantinuum’s trapped-ion quantum 
 computers have enabled both demonstrations of quantum error correction com
 ponents and noisy digital quantum simulations that challenge the limits of
  classical computations. First\, I discuss a dynamical simulation of the 2
 D Ising model on the H2 device\, employing combined error suppression and 
 mitigation techniques. We observe Floquet pre-thermalisation at timescales
  where state-of-the-art classical simulations become extremely difficult\,
  if not infeasible for the particular quenches considered. Second\, I intr
 oduce a framework for robustly characterising logical errors\, and show ho
 w adapting similar physical error suppression leads to improved and reliab
 le benchmarking of key building blocks in quantum error correction.\n\nBIO
 :\nCristina Cirstoiu is a Lead Scientist at Quantinuum. Her research span
 s quantum and classical algorithms\, error characterisation and mitigation
 . Before joining Quantinuum she was a researcher in Computer Science at O
 xford University. She obtained a PhD in Physics from Imperial College Lond
 on on quantum information theory and a B.A/Masters in Mathematics from Cam
 bridge University. \n
