SUMMARY:The Quantum Computer Game: Democratic Science and Game Based L
 earning\, Atomic Physics Seminar\, Prof. Jacob Sherson\, University of
  Aarhus\, Denmark
DESCRIPTION:Online community-based efforts such as Wikipedia have revo
 lutionized the availability of information during the past decade and 
 fundamentally reshaped our society. The coming decade may bring a simi
 lar revolution to scientific research by enabling users of the interne
 t to participate in actual scientific endeavors. This democratized res
 earch has been pioneered by efforts such as SETI@Home and the science 
 game Fold.It.<br>
\n<br>
\nWe expand this approach by developing an on
 line-computer game\, in which players assist in solving one of the hig
 h-profile technical challenges of the 21st century: the creation of a 
 quantum computer\, which will be able to outcompete all conventional c
 omputers combined at certain tasks.  Specifically\, the players will g
 et a chance to participate in the search for robust gates in an archit
 ecture based on an optical tweezer manipulating individual atoms in an
  optical lattice. I will furthermore describe our effort to adapt the 
 game approach to science education in high schools and higher educatio
 n.<br>
\n<br>
\nFinally\, I will briefly describe recent experimental 
 progress towards quantum control of the many-body state of ultra-cold 
 atoms using non-destructive measurements and feedback.
