- Quantum Coffee Hour
- Time: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm
- Place: Rm.5294, Chamberlin Hall
- Abstract: Please join us for the WQI Quantum Coffee today at 3PM in the Physics Faculty Lounge (Rm.5294 in Chamberlin Hall). This series, which takes place approximately every other Tuesday, aims to foster a casual and collaborative atmosphere where faculty, post-docs, students, and anyone with an interest in quantum information sciences can come together. There will be coffee and treats.
- PsiQuantum's Vision for Utility-Scale, Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
- Time: 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
- Place: Rm.5280, Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Aaron Fluitt, PsiQuantum
- Abstract:
Since its founding ten years ago, PsiQuantum has been singularly focused on its goal of building and deploying a utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer as fast as possible. In this talk, aimed at students and postdoctoral researchers, I will outline the pillars of PsiQuantum's technology that have brought this ambitious goal within reach: silicon photonic architecture, high-volume manufacturing at a Tier 1 foundry, high-power cryogenic cooling, and error correction. I will share recent work on applications designed to deliver impact to many industries, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and energy. I will also outline plans for our deployment of a utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago. Finally, I will share information on the types of opportunities that are available now and in the foreseeable future at PsiQuantum.
