Participants will learn about quantum phenomena, which govern nature. These quantum phenomena will be explained through photon's interference, which will be introduced by double-slit and double-beam splitter experiments. Next, classical computation will be compared to quantum computation. Quantum bit will be introduced. Participants will learn through an example of the quantum algorithm,...

30. Using electron spins for implementing qubits

Filippo Troiani

07/07/2023, 11:30

In the last 25 years there has been an intense investigation on spin qubits defined in semiconductor nanostructures. In this seminar, we will illustrate the physical requirements for these implementations, and outline the recent progress in the field and the remaining challenges. The seminar will be concluded by a brief overview on the alternative quantum computing platforms.
