Applied Math Graduate Student Seminars

 

Speaker: Santosh Srivastava, Applied Mathematics

Title:

Large-scale ion trap quantum computer

Date: Thursday, May 29, 2003

Time: 2:30 - 3:20pm

Place: Guggenheim Room AMATH Library


Abstract. Among the numerous types of architecture being explored for quantum computer are system utilizing ion traps, in which bits(qubits) are formed from the electronic states of trapped ions and quantum information transfer between ions through their mutual Coulomb interaction. Unfortnately for this system there exist theoretical and technical obstacles to scale up the approach to large number of qubits. Recently people are exploring the techniqe of using quantum communication to link a number of small ion-trap quantum system to achieve massive parallel gate operation in a large-scale quantum computer.
