Guest Lecture from Dr. Brian DeSalvo (Quantinuum)
Senior Research Scientist at Quantinuum, Dr. Brian DeSalvo, led a disscussion based on his experence, background, and role at one of the fastest developing quantum computing companies in the United States as of today. We disscussed what it is researchers in the industry are looking for in their workforce, as well as many of the exciting scientific developments that Quantinuum has accomplished and layed out for the future.

Guest Lecture from Prof. Bill Coish (McGill)
Abstract: The holy-grail of quantum technologies will be to build a large-scale universal fault-tolerant quantum computer – one where the quantum states live exponentially longer the larger it is. Reaching this limit and exploiting these new long-lived quantum states are enormous challenges for science and engineering. Despite spectacular progress on this front in the last few years, there remain significant hurdles to overcome in scaling the current small-scale devices to a size that will allow real computational advantage. I will discuss strategies that are being explored to overcome some of these scaling issues, with a focus on technologies that exploit the well-tested fabrication advantages of the semiconductor industry.

- April-17-2024: Measurment induced heating paper on arXive!
Find arXive link here. Heating is detrimental to the operation of trapped ion quantum computing hardware. The most well known source of heating, often reffered to as "anamolous heating", heavily dictaces the entirety of the trap design and fabrication process. This paper is a study from a different kind of heating source, which is induced by the measurement of a trapped ion quantum state.
