Quantum Control of Trapped-Ions via Integrated Photonics
Photonics Society
Please Join us on Thursday, September 10th, at 7:00pm for the first talk of the 2020-2021 IEEE Photonics Society Boston Chapter’s Lecture Series!
Dr. Jeremy Sage of MITLL will be speaking about integrated photonic control of trapped-ions for quantum computing and sensing.
Due to the COVID-19 situation we will be meeting via zoom. Zoom link and registration info (registration is free) will be posted to our website one week before the talk. See below for more details. We hope you can make it!
Trapped-ions are one of the most promising qubit modalities for realizing practical quantum computers and quantum sensors. Ion qubits are typically controlled and measured using lasers delivered with free-space optics, an approach which works well for small and/or laboratory-based systems, but one that presents challenges to scaling and portability. Delivery of light to trapped ions via photonics integrated into chip-scale ion traps is another approach, which offers the potential to overcome some of these challenges. In this presentation, I will discuss the basics of trapped-ion quantum computing and sensing and the technological demands of trapped-ion quantum systems.
I will then discuss the development and performance of an integrated-photonics platform that functions over a wavelength range from the near ultraviolet to the near infrared which is aimed at meeting many of these demands, as well as demonstrations of trapped-ion quantum control and readout using this platform.
Biography: Dr. Jeremy Sage is a senior staff member in the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where he co-leads the trapped-ion quantum information processing projects, and is a Principal Investigator in the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT. His current research is focused on the science and engineering of trapped-ion and integrated-photonic systems for quantum information processing. Dr. Sage received a B.S in Physics/Mathematics from Brown University and a Ph.D. in Physics from Yale University.
