 sity Ave West\, Room QNC 0101 Waterloo\,\nON CA N2L 3G1\n\nQuantum computi
 ng promises to advance our computational abilities\nsignificantly in many 
 high-impact research areas. In this period of\nrapid development\, the exp
 erimental capabilities needed to build\nquantum computing devices and prot
 otypes are highly specialized and\noften difficult to access. In this publ
 ic talk\, we'll discuss how to\nbuild quantum computing devices one atom a
  time using the ion-trap\napproach. We'll show how we build quantum bits o
 ut of individually\nisolated atoms\, explore how we use them to simulate o
 ther complex\nsystems\, and showcase how we're building open-access hardwa
 re to\nadvance research in this exciting field.

 to catch a photon in the\nsky\, and how this technology can be used to kee
 p our communication\nsafe and secure. Katanya coordinates the Science Team
  for the Quantum\nEncryption and Science Satellite (QEYSSat) mission\, whi
 ch is building\na satellite that can detect individual particles of light 
 called\nphotons sent from the ground to outer space.
