Don Eigler: The Quantum Frontiers Distinguished Lecture Series

Don Eigler, IBM

Abstract

Classical Computation in Quantum Spin Structures

Can we design, build and operate atomic-scale logic circuits that perform conventional binary computation using only the spin degree of freedom?

I will review progress towards this goal, highlighting the development of Spin Excitation Spectroscopy, a new spectroscopy which allows us to measure g-values, exchange energies, anisotropy energies, ground and excited-state spin configurations and spin lifetimes of individual atoms and assemblies of magnetic atoms on surfaces.

This is a joint lecture with IQC, WIN and CIFAR

Reception to follow in the EIT foyer
