The New Kilogram

Location:10-250

Wolfgang Ketterle

On May 20, the definitions for the units of mass, charge, temperature and mole will change. This is a major change in the international system of units, eliminating all man-made objects from these definitions. This talk will provide some historical background and motivation for defining fundamental base units. However, the main focus of the talk...

Mixed-species and integrated trapped-ion quantum information processing

Location:26-214

Karan Mehta, ETH Zurich

Quantum error correction will be essential for realizing the full potential of quantum information processing devices; this requires significant jumps in robustness and accuracies of basic operations, as well as numbers of controllable qubits. I will discuss work demonstrating basic ingredients for error correction in a small trapped-ion register, as well as on integration for...
