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 […]

On noise in swap ASAP repeater chains: exact analytics, distributions and tight approximations – 11/07 – 12:00pm – HBL Instruction 1102 – Abstract: Losses are one of the main bottlenecks for the distribution of entanglement in quantum networks, which can be overcome by the implementation of quantum repeaters. The most basic form of a quantum repeater […]

UCONN TODAY — Quantum Initiative professor Baikun Li has recently published a paper on applying groundbreaking techniques to convert carbon dioxide emissions into renewable energy sources. The researchers’ findings were recently published the Royal Society of Chemistry’s esteemed Energy and Environmental Science Journal. Environmental engineering professor Baikun Li led a 12-person interdisciplinary team exploring the […]

Quenched random-mass disorder in the critical Gross-Neveu-Yukawa Models – 11/03 – 1:00pm – S213K – Abstract: In the clean limit, continuous symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions in 2D Dirac materials such as graphene and surfaces of 3D topological insulators are described by (2+1)D critical Gross-Neveu-Yukawa (GNY) models. In this talk, I will present our results of […]

THE DAILY CAMPUS — The research co-op Quantum CT hosted its first “Quantum Consortium” at the University of Connecticut’s Innovation Partnership Building on Tuesday, Oct. 3. The meeting is the first to “bring the hundred plus (quantum) faculty under one roof,” said Jit Banerjee, UConn’s associate vice president for research innovation and entrepreneurship. The conference […]
