[title] Novel quantum dynamics with superconducting qubits
[abstract] In recent years, superconducting qubits have emerged as one of the leading platforms for quantum computation and simulation. We utilize these Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) processors to study quantum dynamics. I will present some of our recent works in studying robustness of bound states of photons [1], universality classes of dynamics in the 1D Heisenberg chain [2], and braiding of non-Abelian excitations [3]. These works point to the subtleties of non-equilibrium dynamics of highly entangled states in many-body systems; they provide evidence that in the absence of full-fledged quantum processors, the NISQ processors have challenged and guided our conventional wisdom.
