Speaker: Michel Devoret The accuracy of logical operations on quantum bits (qubits) must be improved for quantum computers to surpass classical ones in useful tasks. To that effect, quantum information needs to be made robust to noise that affects the underlying physical system. Rather than suppressing noise, quantum error correction aims at preventing it from causing logical errors. This approach

Speaker: Peter Zoller Quantum simulation aims at `solving´ complex quantum many-body problems efficiently and with controlled errors on quantum devices. Here we discuss quantum simulation from the perspective of programmable analog quantum simulators, as realized in present cold atom and ion experiments, where the unique features are scalability to large particle numbers and programmability. The f

Speaker: Immanuel Bloch 40 years ago, Richard Feynman outlined his vision of a quantum simulator for carrying out complex calculations of physical problems. Today, his dream has become a reality and a highly active field of resarch across different platforms ranging from ultracold atoms and ions, to superconducting qubits and photons. In my talk, I will outline how ultracold atoms in optical latti

Speaker: Rainer Blatt The state-of-the-art of the Innsbruck trapped-ion quantum computer [1] is briefly reviewed. We present an overview on the available quantum toolbox and discuss the scalability of the approach. With up to 50 fully controlled ion qubits we perform quantum simulations investigating quantum transport [2] and emerging hydrodynamics features [3]. Employing the quantum toolbox for e

Speaker: Krysta Svore While quantum computation has long been promised, and new scenarios and problems for it to tackle are being explored, at the moment we are short on scale. To define and understand the requirements of scale requires also knowing the needs of the problems to be solved.  And then, together with those requirements, working to define the desiderata of the system architecture.  I’l
