meet the meQuanics - Quantum Computing Discussions

After a bit of a break because of my move from Japan back to Australia, we are lucky enough to be joined by Chris Ferrie from the centre for quantum software and information at the University of Technology, Sydney. Not only is Chris involved in cutting edge research in quantum technology, but he is a notable author of childrens books focused on physics! Check out the links below

Chapters: Yale, Penn, Princeton, Columbia, Harvard

Career development through APS:

CCPD - Committee on Careers & Professional Development (contact: Crystal Bailey)

FGSA - Forum on Graduate and Student Affairs https://www.aps.org/units/fgsa/careers/

Excellent workshop given by Peter Fiske, and a webinar coming up. Peter's book is title:

"Put Your Science To Work: The Take-Charge Career Guide for Scientists," by Peter Fiske, Ph.D.

We are joined today by Daniel Herr who is a Ph.D student at ETH Zurich and who works with me at Riken in Tokyo. Daniel is currently attending the annual APS March meeting in New Orleans. The APS March meeting is the largest gathering of physicists worldwide and Daniel is giving us our second quantum field report.

In this episode of meet the meQuanics we are pleased to have Dr. Earl Campbell from the university of Sheffield. His work is deeply related to how an error-corrected quantum computer will be build, programmed, benchmarked and optimised and we are happy to have Dr. Campbell on to talk about his interesting research.

In this episode of meet the meQuanics, we are joined by Prof. Jungsang Kim from Duke University in the US. Prof. Kim is also the co-founder of ionQ, a new start up developing ion trap quantum computing technology. Prof. Kim will have a chat about his work, his tech and the future of private sector investment in quantum technology.

today we try something new on meet the meQuanics. This week, in Seattle is the 20th edition of the Quantum Information Processing (QIP) conference series, one of the major quantum technology conferences worldwide. Live tweeting a conference has become more and more common and to try something new we have enlisted one of those live tweeters to come on the podcast to give us a bit of a look at the kind of things being discussed. We are very pleased that Zachary Eldredge from the University of Maryland gave us some of his time to come on the show and discuss some of the talks that he has found interesting. Hopefully we will get another update from him later in the week for the rest of the talks at QIP and we will see how this goes and maybe the meet the meQuanics field reports will become a regular part of the show.

We are pleased to have Dr. Nicolas Menicucci from RMIT university and the Australian Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computing and Communications Technology join us today for the first chat of the new year. Nicolas has been one of the leading theorists for optically based quantum technologies and he talks about the benefits and challenges of this type of quantum computer.

For our next episode, I am please to be joined by Sabrina Maniscalco from the University of Turku in Finland. Aside from her work in quantum physics and quantum technology, Sabrina has been one of the pioneers in games related to quantum computing and quantum physics. We will have a chat about citizen science for quantum technology and her efforts in co-ordinating the worldwide quantum game jam.
