Prof. Christopher Monroe- ”Quantum Simulations with Trapped Ions”

Seminar

05 Mar 2020

13:00

While trapped atomic ions crystals are among the most promising platforms for fully universal quantum computer systems in the future, they are currently being exploited for some of the most advanced quantum simulators of Hamiltonian spin models.

Prof. Christopher Monroe: “Quantum Computing With Atoms”

Colloquium

04 Mar 2020

14:30

Quantum computers exploit the bizarre features of quantum physics - uncertainty, entanglement, and measurement -- to perform tasks that are impossible using conventional means, such as computing over ungodly amounts of data, and communicating via teleportation. I will describe the architecture of

Prof. Michel Devoret: "A fully stabilized logical quantum bit encoded in grid states of a superconducting cavity"

09 Jan 2020

The operation of universal quantum computers is easily derailed by noise that modifies the state of physical qubits, causing logical errors. Fortunately, such errors can be detected and corrected if quantum information is encoded non-locally.

Prof. Michel Devoret: "Catching and reversing a quantum jump mid-flight"

08 Jan 2020

Measurements in quantum physics, unlike their classical physics counterparts, can fundamentally yield discrete and random results. Historically, Niels Bohr was the first to hypothesize that quantum jumps occurred between two discrete energy levels of an atom.

Meet our new faculty - Dr. Eran Lustig

Assistant Prof. Eran Lustig, 38, who recently joined the Technion’s faculty, brings with him an impressive resumé of cutting-edge research in nonlinear and quantum optics within photonic microchips and integrated photonic platforms. He has ambitious plans for his new lab at the Technion and aims to realize his vision of developing novel photonic integrated microchips as well as exploring and engineering the quantum optical interactions within them. Prof.

Toward a New Era in Electron Microscopy and Medical Imaging

Prof. Ido Kaminer and Prof. Yehonadav Bekenstein of the Technion have been awarded ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) grants by the European Research Council. The grants are expected to lead to a major leap forward in low-radiation medical imaging and in the precise mapping of biological tissues. Proof of Concept grants are feasibility grants designed to promote the transition from academic research to application and commercialization, including the establishment of a startup company, and are awarded only to researchers who have previously received ERC grants.

Meet our new faculty-Prof. Avi Zadok

Unlike most new faculty members, Prof. Avinoam (Avi) Zadok recently joined the Technion’s Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the pinnacle of an impressive career as the ...

Who Moved My Atom?

An experimental setup built at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates the transfer of atoms from one place to another through quantum tunneling between optical tweezers. Led by Prof. Yoav Sagi and doctoral student Yanay Florshaim from the Solid State Institute, the research was published in Science Advances.

How does light propagate in integrated circuits on chips?

Researchers at the Technion are answering this question and paving the way to new applications in communication, imaging, and quantum computing. The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using..
