SUMMARY:Programmable control of indistinguishable particles: from samp
 ling to clocks to qubits\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Adam Kaufma
 n\, UC Boulder
DESCRIPTION:Quantum information science seeks to exploit the collectiv
 e behavior of a large quantum system to enable tasks that are impossib
 le (or less possible!) with classical resources alone. This burgeoning
  field encompasses a variety of directions\, ranging from metrology to
  computing. While distinguished in objective\, all of these directions
  rely on the preparation and control of many identical particles or qu
 bits. Meeting this need is a defining challenge of the field. There ar
 e several promising platforms that are targeting these capabilities\, 
 and I will focus on one such platform — optically-trapped neutral at
 oms.  We have been developing a new suite of tools\, based on the use 
 of more exotic atomic species\, new trapping architectures\, and new c
 ontrol methods. I will provide an overview of these developments and a
  few specific examples of our recent results\, which range from the us
 e of bosonic atoms for sampling problems\, a new kind of atomic clock\
 , and a different kind of qubit.
