The CUbit Update - October 2021

Monday, November 8 @ 4 p.m.
CASE Auditorium, CU Boulder 

As one of the world’s leading researchers in atomic clocks and neutral atoms, Benjamin (Ben) Bloom (co-founder of Atom Computing) built the world’s fastest atomic clock, and at the time of publication, considered the most precise and accurate measurement ever performed. Through that effort and his Ph.D., Ben showed that neutral atoms could be more scalable, and that it is possible, to build a stable solution to create and maintain controlled quantum states. He used his expertise to lead efforts at Intel on their 10nm semiconductor chip, and then to lead research and development of the first cloud-accessible quantum computer at Rigetti.

Hosted by Chicago Quantum Exchange

The fourth annual Chicago Quantum Summit will be a daylong program of presentations and discussions focusing on growing quantum ecosystems, commercializing research, and considering complex issues such as workforce development and inclusion—on both local and global scales.

The Summit is a hybrid event. Virtual participation is broadly available.

Quantum Techniques in Machine Learning (QTML) is an annual international conference focusing on the interdisciplinary field of quantum technology and machine learning. The goal of the conference is to gather leading academic researchers and industry players to interact through a series of scientific talks focused on the interplay between machine learning and quantum physics.

QTML was first hosted in Verona, Italy (2017), then in Durban, South Africa (2018),  Daejeon, South Korea (2019), virtual (2020, hosted by Zapata Computing). This is the conference's fifth annual year and will be held online (hosted by RIKEN).
