Abstract: I will discuss lifetime measurement of SF^{-}_{6} measured with an unprecedented precision. The electron affinity thus extracted soundly establishes the structure of an SF^{-}_{6} molecular...
Abstract: I will review our recent proposals for the digital quantum simulations of spins, fermions, and fermions coupled to bosons, with trapped-ion quantum platforms. We will revise how to employ m...
Abstract: I will introduce the concept of analog and digital quantum simulations as a means of reproducing physical models onto more controllable quantum systems. I will explain the role of these par...
Abstract: One of the central aims of the emerging field of 'quantum thermodynamics' is to uncover thermodynamic effects which are of a genuinely quantum nature. Quantum mechanics may provide a thermo...
Abstract: Contrary to the long-held belief that phase transitions occur only in the thermodynamic limit of infinite number of constituents, we have recently discovered that finite-component systems o...
Abstract: We propose two platforms for realizing macroscopic qubits in spintronics devices. The first prototype magnetic quantum information processing device, based on spin superfluidity and spin Ha...
