The optical atomic clock in Jun Ye's lab can create cluster states in milliseconds, which is necessary for quantum computing—considered a "holy grail" of quantum science. Quantum computers could solve complex problems that even today’s most sophisticated super computers cannot.
Jun Ye and Svenja Knappe presented their quantum-related work in short "lightning round" sessions at the 2019 AeroSpace Ventures Day: Research Blitz, an event designed to connect potential collaborators with a wide range of aerospace and defense research projects.
Price’s research predominantly focuses on quantum dynamics related to quantum materials and quantum information processing—or, in other words, “quantum simulations” that help explain the properties of a precisely defined quantum system.
An array of closely spaced, dipole coupled quantum emitters exhibits collective energy shifts as well as super- and subradiance with characteristic tailorable spatial radiation patterns. Helmut Ritsch, Visiting Fellow from Universität Innsbruck, will present.
There is a reception at 3:30 with cake and coffee. The talk begins at 4 p.m.

This talk will discuss current and future capabilities in quantum computing, focusing in-depth on adiabatic quantum computation using the D-Wave quantum annealer. The talk will describe how to format a problem in a manner the D-Wave can understand, technical issues, and sources of error in the quantum computation. Robert Foster of Los Alamos National Laboratory will present.

The NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process has entered the next phase, in which 26 second-round candidates are being considered for standardization. NIST plans to hold a second NIST PQC Standardization Conference in August 2019 to discuss various aspects of these candidates, and to obtain valuable feedback for the selection of the finalists.

The goal of the Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter is to fully develop the theory of UQM from fundamental characterization and classification to the design for realization and testing of UQM in the lab. To achieve this, the Collaboration will bring together experts in condensed matter physics, high energy physics, quantum information and atomic physics.
