\nTitle: Quantu
 m Computing with Individual Electrons<br>
\nAbstract: Computers built 
 from bits that harness the properties of quantum physics have potentia
 l to solve problems that regular computers cannot. In recent years\, p
 rototype quantum computers have grown rapidly more capable thanks to p
 rogress in physics and engineering. Still\, programming quantum comput
 ers to solve real-world problems remains a distant goal that depends l
 argely on engineering the right hardware. In this NOGS talk\, I explai
 n how individual electron spins in semiconductors can be controlled an
 d used as quantum bits to encode information. In broad strokes\, I sho
 w how to prepare\, manipulate\, and read out these so-called spin qubi
 ts. I also highlight active research fronts in the quest to scale sing
 le qubits into functional quantum computers.
