Fall 2021 Physics Colloquium, Engineering new physical reality: Quantum computing with topological materials

Professor Zhenghan Wang, University of California, Santa Barbara and Microsoft Station Q

When

3 to 4 p.m., Oct. 22, 2021

Where

PAS 201 (Password: PhysColl)

Abstract: One unique daunting approach to quantum computing is topological quantum computing. This topological platform requires new materials to be engineered for ideal model Hamiltonians spawned from the most abstract reach of mathematics. I will introduce this approach to a general audience. ** Refreshments served from 2:45pm – 3:00pm in PAS 218. Thank you. **
