[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] [qip] talk on Mon, Dec 2

Dear quanta, There is no meeting this week because of Thanksgiving. Next week, we will have a special seminar on Monday by Marissa Giustina on Google's hardware. --------- Monday December 2, 2019 11:00 6C-442 Title: Building Google’s Quantum Computer Presenter: Marissa Giustina, Senior Research Scientist and Quantum Electronics Engineer, Google LLC. Abstract: The Google AI Quantum team develops chip-based circuitry that one can interact with (control and read out) and which behaves reliably according to a simple quantum model. Such quantum hardware holds promise as a platform for tackling problems intractable for classical computing hardware. While the demonstration of a universal, fault-tolerant, quantum computer remains a goal for the future, it has informed the design of a prototype with which we have recently controlled a quantum system of unprecedented scale. This talk introduces Google’s quantum computing effort from both hardware and quantum-information perspectives, including an overview of recent technological developments and recent results. _______________________________________________ qip mailing list qip(a)mit.edu http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/qip
