SUMMARY:Pushing Nuclear Frontiers
DESCRIPTION:
 The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) invites 
 you to a lecture titled "Pushing Nuclear 
 Frontiers" featuring Joan Rohlfing, 
 President and Chief Operating Officer for the 
 Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI). The lecture 
 will take place on Thursday, 6 October at 
 6 p.m. in 1300 FRIB Laboratory. There will be 
 a special reception at 5 p.m. (immediately prior 
 to the lecture) in the area outside of room 
 1300. The event is free and open to the public. 
 The lecture is part of Michigan State 
 University's Distinguished Nuclear Policy Lecture 
 series.\n

 Talk abstract:\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
