- Quantum Information on Quantum Matter
- Time: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm
- Place: 5310 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Dafei Jin, University of Notre Dame
- Abstract: Abstract: Noble-gas atoms, such as helium and neon, form condensed quantum liquids and solids at low temperatures. They are among the purest matters in nature, free of chemical contamination or usual two-level fluctuators. and can serve as ideal hosts for quantum information carriers. In this talk, I will present our development of noise-resilient, coherently interacting electron qubits on the surface of solid neon in a superconducting quantum circuit. I will also present our ongoing effort to deterministically trap atoms and ions in quantum solids for broader quantum information applications. Bio: Dafei Jin is an Associate Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. His research lies at the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum information science. In recent years, he pioneered the development of quantum information platforms based on electrons trapped on quantum-solid surfaces. He is a recipient of the 2021 Julian Schwinger Foundation Award for Physical Research and the 2024 DOE Early Career Award.
