[LA-SiGMA] LASiGMA Seminar Today - David Cory, April 23rd, 3:30pm (Please see new broadcast information)

[sjlee at cct.lsu.edu]

Dear All,

As a reminder, Dr. David Cory of the University of Waterloo will be  
giving a talk today at 3:30pm in room 1034 at The Digital Media  
Center, Louisiana State University. The title of his talk is  
"Realizing Quantum Information Processors."

Abstract:
Quantum mechanics is the ultimate law of nature and when we can build  
a device that behaves uniquely quantum mechanically then we may  
achieve the highest efficiencies allowed by nature. One of the most  
compelling applications of quantum devices is for information  
processing.  I will describe laboratory scale, small quantum  
processors: including a bit about how they work and what they are  
useful for.  I will discuss some near term quantum devices, sensors  
and actuators that are emerging from laboratories.  Finally I will  
include a brief perspective of where we are on the path to building a  
general-purpose quantum computer.

Biography:
Dr. David Cory holds the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Quantum  
Information Processing at the University of Waterloo.  There he is a  
Professor of Chemistry, a member of the Institute of Quantum Computing  
and of the Waterloo Institute of Nano Technology.  He is an associate  
of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.  He chairs the  
advisory committee for the Canada Institute For Advanced Research's  
Quantum Information Processing program.  He is an experimentalist  
working to develop spin-based examples of quantum processors.
