FINDING SPIN GLASS GROUND STATES USING QUANTUM WALKS

Finding spin glass ground states using quantum walks

Quantum computation using continuous-time evolution under a natural hardware Hamiltonian is a promising near- and mid-term direction toward powerful quantum computing hardware.We investigate the performance of continuous-time quantum walks as a tool for finding spin glass ground states, a problem that serves as a useful model for realistic optimiza

Scientific Humanisms and the Anthropocene, Or the Dream of Steering the Evolution of the Human and Natural World

This contribution engages with different forms of humanism coming out of the history of science and evolutionary biology, called new, scientific, evolutionary, and ecological, from the interwar years to the post-war period.The focus lies on issues of progress, teleology, universalism, and Eurocentrism in the associated conceptualizations of (evolut
