Duke & NC State will host a series of Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminars for 2021 – 2022 Academic year!<\/strong><\/p>\n Seminars will be held each Friday this fall from 12 Noon – 1pm<\/p>\n Talk Title:\u00a0 <\/strong>Optically Trapped Atomic Qubits<\/p>\n Speaker: <\/strong>Jonathan King, Chief Scientist, Atom Computing<\/p>\n Abstract:\u00a0 <\/strong>Ultracold neutral atoms have emerged as a leading platform for scalable quantum simulation, but can they be similarly used for gate-based quantum computation? In this talk, I will present an overview of major accomplishments in academia that have spurred multiple different startups to enter the quantum computing race, focusing on the use of neutral atoms as a scalable qubit platform. With these proof of principle demonstrations in mind, I will describe Atom Computing’s first prototype system which, very recently, announced the use of a unique qubit to achieve T2* times in excess of 20 seconds. Utilizing qubit states that are broadly insensitive to the environment they are trapped in, this system is quickly becoming a testbed for how to build programmatic control into neutral atom systems that rivals other leading quantum computing platforms.<\/p>\n This is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke. The In Person location for NC State is Venture Place, 2nd Floor, Large Classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n
