02/5, Wednesday, John Gaebler, Quantinuum
This will be an in-person seminar and available via Zoom (https://mines.zoom.us/s/97076035397).
Relevant Articles: https://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.13.041052 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.02501 .
Abstract: I will discuss the motivation for running random circuit sampling algorithms (RCS) on current quantum computers and present some recent RCS results from Quantinuum. I will also briefly introduce the basics of trapped-ion quantum computing architectures and challenges and progress towards scaling system sizes to meet future applications.
Bio: Dr. John Gaebler is the chief scientist for commercial products at Quantinuum, an international quantum computing company with a location in Broomfield dedicated to the development of trapped-ion based quantum computers. Dr. Gaebler has a PhD in physics from University of Colorado at Boulder and was previously a post-doctoral researcher at NIST in Boulder focused on trapped-ion quantum computing.

08/7-08/08, Real-World Quantum Computing Workshop in collaboration with LLNL
This 2-day workshop is designed to orient physics and engineering students to the opportunities and challenges in quantum computing with superconducting hardware. The workshop is jointly hosted by San Jose State University and Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and will feature research talks and tutorials by staff scientists at LLNL as well as hands-on training in controlling real quantum hardware. Students participating in the workshop will have access to LLNL’s innovative QuDIT testbed. Previous quantum computing experience or coursework is not required.
The workshop will be held at LLNL on August 7-8, 2025. All sessions will be conducted in person; there is no option for remote participation.
