SUMMARY:Engineering the Quantum Future — A Donald Kerst Lecture Seri
 es\, Wisconsin Quantum Institute\, John Martinis\, QoLab\, UCSB
DESCRIPTION:The WUD Distinguished Lecture Series and College of Letter
 s and Science are excited to welcome John Martinis. “John Martinis: 
 Engineering the Quantum Future” is a Donald Kerst Lecture Series and
  will feature a 60-minute lecture followed by a 30-minute audience Q&A
 . This is a free event taking place in Memorial Union’s Shannon Hall
  at 7:00 pm on March 23rd.<br>
\n<br>
\nJohn Martinis is a distinguish
 ed physicist and 2025 Nobel Laureate in Physics\, renowned for his pio
 neering contributions to superconducting quantum computing. His resear
 ch has been central to developing high-fidelity qubits and engineering
  the architectures needed for scalable quantum processors. He previous
 ly led Google’s quantum hardware team\, where his group achieved the
  landmark 2019 quantum supremacy experiment — the first demonstratio
 n of a quantum computer outperforming the world’s most powerful clas
 sical supercomputer on a computational task. In 2022\, he co-founded Q
 olab\, where he now serves as CTO and continues to advance next-genera
 tion superconducting qubit technology and quantum system design.<br>
