Diagnosing Thermonuclear Burn in Fusion Implosions using Ultra-Fast Gas Cherenkov Detectors [Slides]
This presentations addresses these questions. What is fusion and what is ignition? How does LASER driven Inertial Confinement Fusion work? What can we measure and what does it tell us about fusion? How do Gas Cherenkov detectors work and what do they tell us? What are our plans for the future? In brief, the take away messages for this presentation are as follows: DT fusion reaction history provides crucial physics for ICF; gamma reaction history diagnostics are ready to resolve burn width on ignition shots; and GCDs have a lot of potential solving some of the questions related to fusion science.

Qubit Lattice Algorithms Based on the Schrödinger-Dirac Representation of Maxwell Equations and Their Extensions
It is well known that Maxwell equations can be expressed in a unitary Schrodinger-Dirac representation for homogeneous media. However, difficulties arise when considering inhomogeneous media. A Dyson map points to a unitary field qubit basis, but the standard qubit lattice algorithm of interleaved unitary collision-stream operators must be augmented by some sparse non-unitary potential operators that recover the derivatives on the refractive indices. Here, the effect of the steepness of these derivatives on two-dimensional scattering is examined with simulations showing quite complex wavefronts emitted due to transmissions/reflections within the dielectric objects. Maxwell equations are extended to handle dissipation using Kraus operators. Then, our theoretical algorithms are extended to these open quantum systems. A quantum circuit diagram is presented as well as estimates on the required number of quantum gates for implementation on a quantum computer.
