SUMMARY:How to create and leverage many-body entanglement for near-ter
 m quantum networks and simulation\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Semina
 r\, Sophia Economou\, Virginia Tech
DESCRIPTION:Quantum information science and related technologies inclu
 de quantum computers\, which will be able to solve important problems 
 beyond the reach of classical computers\, as well as the ‘quantum in
 ternet’\, an inherently secure network for communication and for acc
 essing remote quantum computers. I will discuss these technologies\, f
 ocusing on the question of how to enable them by creating and leveragi
 ng multipartite entangled states using near-term quantum systems. In t
 he case of quantum networks\, I will describe our protocols for the ge
 neration of logically encoded photonic graph states from quantum emitt
 ers. For quantum simulation\, I will present our recent work on effici
 ent variational quantum algorithms.
