Dear All,


Please note in your calendar next week's colloquium talk as detailed below - I am very much looking forward to this one!

speaker:  Professor Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler, Mainz, Germany
title: Quantum optics and quantum information with trapped ions  (abstract below)
date: Wednesday 17/2/2016, 3pm
room:  Kelvin Building room 257

Questions, doughnuts and time to meet afterwards in the common room, as always!

Best wishes,
Sonja

abstract:
The quantum states of ions are perfectly controlled, and may be used for
fundamental research in quantum physics, as highlighted by the Nobel
Prize given to Dave Wineland in 2012. In this talk, I will highlight the
advantages of trapped ions for quantum information processing, taking
advantage of modern trap technologies to pave a way for scalability. The
laser-ion interactions allow for high fidelity quantum gate operations,
while the application of well-suited trap control voltages realizes ion
shuttles and the reconfiguration of the ion quantum register.
Alternatively, one may employ Rydberg excitation of trapped ions to
allow for long-range interactions and quantum gate operation.
