In this period of\nrapid developme nt\, the experimental capabilities needed to build\nquantum computing devi ces and prototypes are highly specialized and\noften difficult to access. In this public talk\, we'll discuss how to\nbuild quantum computing device s one atom a time using the ion-trap\napproach. We'll show how we build qu antum bits out of individually\nisolated atoms\, explore how we use them t o simulate other complex\nsystems\, and showcase how we're building open-a ccess hardware to\nadvance research in this exciting field.\n DTSTAMP:20250517T020811Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6827ef8b9c3d1 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20220517T190000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20220517T190000 URL:/institute-for-quantum-computing/events/quantum-ste ampunk SUMMARY:Quantum Steampunk: The Physics of Yesterday's Tomorrow with Dr. Nic ole\nYunger Halpern CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nIN PERSON & VIRTUAL\n\nIn “Quantum Steampunk”\, the exciting new book from Harvard\nphysicist Dr. Nicole Yunger Halpern\, the industrial revolution meets\nthe quantum-technology revolution.
