Hunting for quantum butterflies - Shohini Ghose

Unpredictability manifests itself in very different ways at the classical and the quantum level. This has led to long-standing open questions, including the connection between chaos theory and quantum mechanics. Recent advances in quantum computing have made it possible to study foundational questions about the quantum-classical boundary in an experimental setting. This talk will discuss the first quantum simulations of chaos on a programmable quantum computer, and the identification of new quantum resonances in periodic systems that have no classical analog.
