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?

Cristopher Moore: The McEliece cryptosystem resists quantum Fourier sampling attacks

Cristopher Moore, University of New Mexico

Abstract

Since Shor's algorithm breaks RSA cryptography, it makes sense to look for post-quantum cryptosystems: cryptosystems that can be carried out with classical computers today, but which will remain secure even if and when quantum computers are built.

Sophie Schirmer, University of Cambridge

Abstract

I will cover the basics in terms of the control objectives and algorithms, details about the implementation, and recent results about the convergence behaviour, control landscape, and field characteristics and similarities and differences we see in Markovian vs Non-Markovian systems.
