01/29, Wednesday, Career Days

Career Days, no Quantum Information Seminar

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.

03/05, Wednesday, Majorana 1 discussion

Zach Newman, Octave Photonics

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our seminar speaker, Zach Newman, from Octave Photonics will not be able to attend this week. Instead, we will be hosting a discussion of the recent Microsoft Majorana 1 results. We will watch some videos from Microsoft and third party reviews, then critically discuss the impact of these results on the quantum computing industry. We will still meet at 9 am in Labriola 202 with coffee and snacks, so please feel free to join us for this discussion hour!

Join us from 9:00 am – 10:00 am in Labriola 202 or join via Zoom (https://mines.zoom.us/s/97076035397)
