Dear All, As part of the CN1-SPOKE 10 on Quantum Computing, we are organizing a weekly seminar series. Next week's there will be: Title: Rydberg qubits for simulation and sensing Speaker: Oliver Morsch (CNR-INO and University of Pisa) Venue: Seminar room of Math department (1st floor on the left) Time: Monday, 20/05/2024, 17:00 Abstract: In recent years, Rydberg atoms have been increasingly used in several quantum technologies. In this talk I will give a brief introduction to Rydberg qubits and their applications in quantum simulation and quantum sensing. I will then give some examples of our recent work on these two technologies: the simulation of open quantum systems (phase transitions in driven quantum systems with controlled dissipation) and spatially resolved temperature measurements in a cold atomic gas using Rydberg- Doppler broadening thermometry. Everyone is welcome! GIanna @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Gianna M. Del Corso, PhD Dipartimento di Informatica, Università di Pisa Largo Pontecorvo, 3 56127 Pisa, Italy ph. +39-050-2213118 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
