SUMMARY:Free Public Zoom Talk Featuring Steven M. Girvin from Yale University
DESCRIPTION:
 FRIB invites the community to the next Advanced 
 Studies Gateway public talk event. Steven M. 
 Girvin, Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics 
 and Professor of Applied Physics at Yale University, 
 will give a public talk titled Progress 
 and Prospects for the Second Quantum Revolution 
 and the Race to Build "Impossible" 
 Computers. The talk will begin at 1 p.m. 
 (EDT) on 2 October on Zoom. Register for the 
 event here: https://msu.zoom.us/.../register/WN_7i5mSh6OTI6wRAZXtqWdVA\n

 From 
 the speaker:\n
 "The 
 first quantum revolution brought 
 us the great technological advances of the 
 20th century-the transistor, the laser, the 
 atomic clock and the global positioning system 
 (GPS). We now realize that this 20th century 
 hardware does not take full advantage of the 
 power of quantum machines. A second quantum 
 revolution is now underway based on our relatively 
 new understanding of how information 
 can be stored, manipulated, and communicated 
 using strange quantum hardware that is neither 
 fully digital nor fully analog. This talk will 
 give a gentle introduction to the basic concepts 
 that underlie this quantum information 
 revolution and describe major challenges as 
 well as recent remarkable experimental progress 
 in the race to build quantum machines for 
 computing, sensing and communication."\n
