"Case Studies on Physical Complexity in Quantum States: From Quantum Phase Transitions to Quantum Cellular Automata"

The application of graph theory to networks has resulted in a myriad of classical applications across biology, economics, epidemiology, sociology, and soft condensed matter physics. Recent quantum information devices allow us access to large, complex quantum states with non-trivial  entanglement structure. In this talk, I will use three case studies to show the ease and usefulness of complex network theory in identifying novel features of known quantum systems and new kinds of quantum states accessible in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) scenarios.
