Carbon Based Flexible and Multi-Component Self-Powered Devices

Dogan Sinar

Carbon and its allotropes have been researched intensively for their potential applications in various fields including energy storage/generation, sensor technology, and wearable electronics. Graphene and graphene oxide have especially drawn attention during the last decade due their unique electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties.

Join us at the Institute for Quantum Computing for a two-week introduction to the theoretical and experimental study of quantum information processing.

During the Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP) will be exposed to lectures and experiments on the following topics and more.

Quantum coherence control in an inhomogeneously broadened lambda-type solid state ensemble has been studied for quantum memories over decades. Unlike akali atoms, the optically excited spin coherence in a rare-earth doped solid is sufferred from a serious spin dephasing problem due to spin inhomogeneity. Thus, solid state quantum memory protocols such as AFC and gradient echo have been effctively demonstrated only for optical transitions, whose coherence time is far shorter than ms.

The event will feature a panel of four speakers who will share how their agency or organization supports start-ups and commercialization of IP, including funding sources and services available to faculty and start-ups. Each panelist will provide a brief presentation and respond to a set of questions followed by a Q&A session. Informal networking will take place between 1:00pm and 1:30pm.

IQC Colloquium

Stephen Bartlett, The University of Sydney

Quantum information is very fragile, but clever quantum engineers aspire to use error correction to keep information intact. Topologically ordered phases—wherein the most exotic properties of quantum physics such as entanglement are protected within a strongly-interacting material—are currently being commandeered as quantum error-correcting codes for today’s quantum architectures. I’ll introduce these as well as a new generation of theoretical materials that promise to self-correct themselves.

Control techniques in spin-based quantum communication

PhD Candidate: Hemant Katiyar

Join us for this week's IQC Student Seminar, featuring surprise speakers and a pizza lunch.

Andrea Coladangelo, Caltech

In a non-local game, two or more non-communicating, but entangled, players cooperatively try to win a game consisting of a one-round interaction with a classical referee. In this talk, I will describe a two-player non-local game with the property that an epsilon-close to optimal strategy requires the players to share an entangled state of dimension 2^{1/poly(epsilon)}.
