Quantum chemistry has been identified as one of the prime applications for quantum computers. At present, the majority of quantum algorithm developments have the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) architecture in mind, for which it is important to design quantum circuits with low circuit depth to minimize noise and error propagation. In this presentation, I will present a modular...
The search for the invisible dark matter particle is complicated due to the uncertainties in its distribution in our Galaxy. An accurate determination of the dark matter phase space distribution in the Solar neighborhood is crucial for the correct analysis and interpretation of data from dark matter direct detection experiments. Massive satellites such as the Large Magellanic Cloud can impact...
I will give an overview of pseudo-Dirac dark matter, a scenario where a small Majorana mass splits charged Dirac dark matter into two nearly degenerate states. A longtime favourite of model-builders, this dark matter candidate has a rich phenomenology that still has yet to be fully characterized. I will discuss a few mechanisms for producing this kind of dark matter in the early universe, and...
