Dr. Lampert will talk on, "Spin Qubits: A Scalable Semiconductor Platform for Quantum Computing."

Abstract:

Quantum computers have a unique ability to process information using the amazing properties of quantum mechanics. With this new ability to explore beyond the reaches of classical computing, quantum computers are positioned to revolutionize our understanding of the physical world. Before arriving at this point, there are many technical hurdles to overcome. And as the field of quantum computing burgeons, many technology platforms are now in contention for realizing the dream of a universal quantum computer. Of these platforms, spin qubits hold promise due to their small physical dimensions and compatibility with advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities. At Intel, we design, manufacture, and measure spin qubits. An introduction to spin qubits, beginning from the formation of quantum dots to the coherent operation of a single spin, will be given along with a summary of the quantum computing program at Intel.
