IQC Colloquium featuring Christopher Monroe
Building Quantum Computers in Academia and Industry
Christopher Monroe, Duke University and IonQ
Quantum computers exploit the bizarre features of quantum physics -- uncertainty, entanglement, and measurement -- to perform tasks that are impossible using conventional means. These may include the computing and optimizing over ungodly amounts of data; breaking encryption standards; simulating models of chemistry and materials; and communicating via quantum teleportation. The most promising physical platform being developed today are based on individual atoms, controlled with laser light and ultimately networked using single optical photons. I will summarize this technological development, which has demande approaches from academia, government, and industry.
