NQN Workshop on Quantum Transduction

November 14-15, 2019: The Northwest Quantum Nexus (NQN) is bringing together experts across many qubit platforms to define and seek solutions to the outstanding challenges in qubit transduction for a workshop at the University of Washington on November 14-15. This 2-day workshop will be organized into focus sessions on photon-photon transduction, photon-spin transduction, ion-superconducting qubit transduction, interfacing to topological qubits, and machine learning to facilitate quantum measurement, control, and transduction.

New method to dope nanodiamonds for quantum computing

A team led by UW Professor Peter Pauzauskie discovered that they can use extremely high pressure and temperature to introduce other elements into nanodiamonds, making them potentially useful in quantum communications and quantum sensing. This work was done in collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and published in Science Advances.
