Abstract
We consider an Erdős-Rényi random graph, conditioned on the rare event that all connected components are fully connected. Such graphs can be considered as partitions of vertices into cliques. Hence, this conditional distribution defines a distribution over partitions. The motivation for this model comes from community detection, where one wishes to partition graph vertices into groups that are better connected internally than externally. Using tools from analytic combinatorics, we prove limit theorems for several graph observables of this conditional distribution: the number of cliques; the number of edges; and the degree distribution. We consider several regimes of the connection probability $p$ as the number of vertices n diverges. For $p=frac12$, the conditioning yields the uniform distribution over set partitions, which is well-studied, but has not been studied as a graph distribution before. For $p<\frac{1}{2}$, we show that the number of cliques is of the order $n/\sqrt{\log n}$, while for $p>frac12$, we prove that the graph consists of a single clique with high probability. This shows that there is a phase transition at $p=frac12$. We additionally study the near-critical regime $pdownarrowfrac12$, as well as the sparse regime $pdownarrow 0$.

Abstract
Tutorial 1 by Jesús Carrete Montaña, U Zaragoza:
Thermal conductivity calculations with the Boltzmann transport equation and machine-learning force fields
Solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for phonons with inputs from density-functional-theory (DFT) calculations have been successful at providing predictive, parameter-free estimates of the thermal conductivity of many pristine and defect-laden semiconductors, albeit at very significant computational cost. Machine-learning force fields, through their ability to provide results with DFT-like quality in a small fraction of the time, can revolutionize that situation. This tutorial will first guide the audience through all the steps of a conventional DFT+BTE calculation, followed by the active learning of a descriptor-based neural-network potential. That force field will then be validated by reproducing the ab-initio results.
Tutorial 2 by Michele Simoncelli, U Cambridge:
From density-functional theory to dual wave-particle transport and device simulation
Quantitative theoretical predictions for charge and heat transport phenomena in semiconductors are crucial to design devices for energy conversion or management. We present recent advances in Quantum ESPRESSO, an open-source density-functional-theory (DFT) software, that allows us to simulate from first principles the thermoelectric properties of semiconductors. After discussing how to compute the band structure of electrons and phonons, we introduce the framework needed to quantify their interactions. We discuss how these quantitites enter into the microscopic Wigner formulation for transport in solids, which enables us to predict the transport coefficients in materials ranging from crystals to glasses and with variable level of doping. Finally, we show that microscopic transport equations for electron and phonon transport can be coarse-grained into mesoscopic viscous equations useful to design devices. These are partial differential equations that generalize Ohm's or Fourier's laws describing not only diffusive transport but also fluid-like phenomena measured in recent, pioneering experiments.

Abstract
The development of quantum computers and algorithms is currently rapidly accelerating and will likely continue to do so in the next few years and even decades. As these systems continue to increase in size and complexity, there is an increasing need for methods to aid in their design. In particular, there is a need for debugging tools at each level of the quantum computing stack, specifically in the compilation and optimization of quantum circuits. In this work, we bridge the gap between quantum many-body physics and computer science by using tensor network techniques to verify the equivalence or non-equivalence of quantum circuits in order to detect errors that may occur during the many steps of this process.

Abstract
For the solution of time-dependent nonlinear differential equations, we present variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) that encode both space and time in qubit registers. The spacetime encoding enables us to obtain the entire time evolution from a single ground-state computation. We describe a general procedure to construct efficient quantum circuits for the cost function evaluation required by VQAs. To mitigate the barren plateau problem during the optimization, we propose an adaptive multigrid strategy. The approach is illustrated for the nonlinear Burgers equation. We classically optimize quantum circuits to represent the desired ground-state solutions, run them on IBM Q System One and Quantinuum System Model H1, and demonstrate that current quantum computers are capable of accurately reproducing the exact results.
