SUMMARY:Kai-Mei Fu (University of Washington)\, QISE Seminar: Point Defects in Crystals: Trapped Atoms for Quantum Technologies
DESCRIPTION:AbstractPoint defects in crystals are the solid-state analog to trapped ions. Thus these “quantumdefects”\, which can be integrated into solid-state devices\, have gained interest as quantumsensors and qubit candidates for scalable quantum networks. In this talk\, I will introducesome of the basic quantum defect properties desirable for quantum technologies. I willthen focus on my own group’s work advancing hybrid defect-photonics platforms forquantum network applications. \n\n\n\nBioKai-Mei Fu is the Virginia and Prentice Bloedel Professor of Physics and Electrical andComputer Engineering at the University of Washington and holds a dual appointment withthe Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Kai-Mei received their PhD in Applied Physics in2007 from Stanford University. Their research focuses on the synthesis\, characterizationand control of optically active quantum defects in crystals\, with applications in quantumnetworks and sensing. At UW\, Kai-Mei is the Director of UW’s NSF National ResearchTraining Program: Accelerating Quantum-Enabled Technologies. They serve as the DeputyDirector of the Department of Energy National Quantum Initiative (NQI) Co-design Centerfor Quantum Advantage

SUMMARY:Emma Schmidgall (Microsoft Quantum)\, QISE Seminar: Practical Challenges of Scaling Quantum Information Technologies
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \n\n\n\nQuantum technologies are leaving the laboratory! Many companies are working on moving from single- and few-qubit systems to scaled-up deployments integrated with existing cloud infrastructures. But what does this mean\, really? What are the engineering challenges presented by such a transition? In this talk\, we’ll discuss some of the non-qubit practical challenges of scaling up quantum information and the opportunities available for scientists and engineers as we bring these systems to scale.   \n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nEmma Schmidgall is a senior hardware engineer for Microsoft Quantum\, where she’s worked since 2020 on several aspects of a scalable quantum computer from cryogenics to interconnects and custom silicon. Prior to Microsoft\, she worked at Lumotive on beam steering technologies for LIDAR. She was an Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Fellow and Washington Research Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow with Professor Kai-Mei Fu at the University of Washington. Her PhD in physics is from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology.
