CUA Seminar – Peter Maurer: Optically addressable spin qubits: From color centers to protein-based qubits

Metastable triplet states provide a versatile route to optically addressable spin qubits that bridge quantum information science, chemistry, and biology. In this seminar, I will present our recent work establishing metastable triplet states as a new quantum platform, from the first genetically...

CUA Seminar – Hartmut Haeffner: Observing indistinguishability of mutually separated particles

The quantum statistics theorem states that the wavefunction of two indistinguishable particles must be symmetrized. As a result, the phase acquired upon exchanging the particles is restricted to either 0 or π. Although this theorem has profound implications for the structure of nature—most notably...
