UCONN TODAY — UConn physicists have partnered with Google Quantum AI and Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics (NORDITA) quantum experts on a groundbreaking paper on the effects of gravitation on quantum information systems. Physics Prof. Alexander Balatsky of the UConn Quantum Initiative developed the paper with Pedram Roushan, Google’s project leader on qubits in the […]

A new platform for quantum science: programmable arrays of single atoms inside an optical cavity – 02/16 – 3:30pm – Gant West, GW-002 – Abstract: Recently, programmable arrays of single atoms have emerged as a leading platform for quantum computing and simulation with experiments demonstrating control over hundreds of atoms [1]. Interfacing an atom array […]

UCONN TODAY — Superconductors, which are materials that allow perfect, lossless flow of electrons through them, have intrigued physicists for decades. But most superconductors only exhibit this quantum-mechanical peculiarity at temperatures so low – a few degrees above absolute zero –as to render them impractical. Moreover, exotic forms of superconductivity, some of which have yet […]
