Jeremy O'Brien: "Quantum Technologies"
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 17 Ιουν 2014
Jeremy O'Brien visited Google LA to deliver a talk: "Quantum Technologies." This talk took place on April 1, 2014.
Abstract:
The
impact of quantum technology will be profound and far-reaching: secure
communication networks for consumers, corporations and government;
precision sensors for biomedical technology and environmental
monitoring; quantum simulators for the design of new materials,
pharmaceuticals and clean energy devices; and ultra-powerful quantum
computers for addressing otherwise impossibly large datasets for machine
learning-artificial intelligence applications. However, engineering
quantum systems and controlling them is an immense technological
challenge: they are inherently fragile; and information extracted from a
quantum system necessarily disturbs the system itself. Despite these
challenges a small number of quantum technologies are now commercially
available. Delivering the full promise of these technologies will
require a concerted quantum engineering effort jointly between academia
and industry. We will describe our progress in the Centre for Quantum
Photonics to delivering this promise using an integrated quantum
photonics platform---generating, manipulating and interacting single
particles of light (photons) in waveguide circuits on silicon chips.

O'Brien is professor of physics and electrical engineering and director
of the Centre for Quantum Photonics (CQP). He received his Ph.D. in
physics from the University of New South Wales in 2002 for experimental
work on correlated and confined electrons in organic conductors,
superconductors and semiconductor nanostructures, as well as progress
towards the fabrication of a phosphorus in silicon quantum computer. As a
research fellow at the University of Queensland (2001-2006) he worked
on quantum optics and quantum information science with single photons.
CQP's efforts are focused on the fundamental and applied quantum
mechanics at the heart of quantum information science and technology,
ranging from prototypes for scalable quantum computing to generalised
quantum measurements, quantum control, and quantum metrology.
