Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are revolutionizing the solar cell research field - the record power conversion efficiency of MHPs based solar cells has reached 22.7%, which rivals that of silicon solar cells. What is particularly exciting about MHPs is that they can be manufactured into solar cell devices at low-costing using low temperature solution processing. Based on these attributes, MHPs have been called the “next big thing in photovoltaics” and worldwide research efforts have grown explosively.

The Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) is hosting a half-day symposium to discuss recent advances in Quantum Machine Learning, its near-term industry applications, and opportunities for commercialization with private financing as a technology startup.

Seminar featuring Jan Haase, Universität Ulm

Whenever one is tempted to employ a quantum system for any kind of applications, the focus usually lies on two properties setting it apart from a system described by a classical theory, namely the coherent superposition of dierent quantum states and entanglement between two ore more constituents forming the system.

Whenever one is tempted to employ a quantum system for any kind of applications, the focus usually lies on two properties setting it apart from a system described by a classical theory, namely the coherent superposition of different quantum states and entanglement between two ore more constituents forming the system.

Crystal Senko: Ion traps and multi-level quantum systems

I give an overview of trapped ion quantum information experiments and discuss prospects for implementing multi-valued quantum logic using trapped ions.

Dagmar Bruss, University of Duesseldorf

The resource theory of quantum coherence studies the off-diagonal elements of a density matrix in a distinguished basis, whereas the resource theory of purity studies all deviations from the maximally mixed state. We establish a direct connection between the two resource theories, by identifying purity as the maximal coherence, which is achievable by unitary operations. The states that saturate this maximum identify a universal family of maximally coherent mixed states.

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 information processing
• Implementation for quantum information processing
• Experimental exploration

Alexander Grimm, Yale University

In recent years, circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) has seen considerable efforts towards protecting quantum information from unwanted sources of decoherence through quantum error correction. Independent of the implementation, this is based on encoding a logical qubit into a stable manifold within a larger Hilbert space, whose symmetries restrict the number of independent errors and make them detectable and correctable.
