Eddleman Quantum Institute SeminarNew Developments in Superconducting Quantum Computing with Josephson Junctions Monday, May 13, 2024 – 1:30pmAbstract: Among the myriad of quantum systems being considered for the implementation of quantum computing, superconducting circuits are among the earliest to be developed and most mature. This is likely because they are relatively straightforward and simple to implement, i.e. the fabrication is significantly simpler than typical VLSI circuits as...

Quantum Computing: Harnessing the Unseen Special Guest Speaker Irfan Siddiqi – UC Berkeley – Professor of Physics Quantum mechanics describes the physical world around us with exquisite precision, with no known violations of the theory. Ironically, this precision comes with some additional baggage: the theory permits the existence of a host of complex, delicate entangled states of the physical world, many of which have yet to be produced or observed. The debate of whether their...

Quantum scientist Dr. Roberta Sessoli gives seminar at UCI EQI supported a seminar at UCI by the world famous quantum scientist, Dr. Roberta Sessoli, of the University of Florence, who discovered the first molecular single-molecule magnet as a graduate student.

Rare Earth and Quantum Science Chemistry Summer School Philadelphia, Pennsylvania June 25-26, 2022 Have you ever wondered what underlies the chemistry of your smart phones or speakers? What about the chemistry of renewable energy technologies, such as those found in electric cars or wind-turbines? How could small molecules be used to generate stable imaging agents, sensors, or catalysts that can enable applications in medicine and the chemical industry?  Perhaps you’re curious about emerging...
