DESCRIPTION:Wenchao Xu  \nPlease join us for the QSE Center Quantum Semi
 nar with Prof. Wenchao Xu from ETH Zurich who will speak on Friday\, Octo
 ber 6\, about  "Quantum science with Rydberg atom arrays". \n\nLocation:
  CE 1 103\n\nPizzas will be available before the seminar at 12:00. All 
 PhDs\, postdocs\, students\, and PIs are welcome to join us.\n\nTITLE: Qua
 ntum science with Rydberg atom arrays\n\nABSTRACT: Quantum science promise
 s great potential to revolutionize our current technologies. Arrays of ind
 ividual atoms trapped in optical tweezers have emerged as an attractive ar
 chitecture for quantum computation and simulation. This architecture has d
 emonstrated great advantages in scalability\, and programmability over the
  array configurations. Controllable inter-atomic interactions are achieved
  via the Rydberg states of atoms\, which facilitate two-qubit gate operati
 ons and to simulate quantum many-body systems.\n\nIn this talk\, I will fi
 rst do a brief review on this architecture and the rapid progress during t
 he past few years\, and point out several challenges and ongoing effort at
  this moment. Then I will outline my proposed research at ETH\, which aims
  for building a novel architecture for quantum computation/simulation with
  dual type dual-element atom arrays. I expect this architecture can mitiga
 te some long-standing challenges\, including individual addressability and
  rapid non-demolition selective detection.\n\nBIO: Wenchao Xu is a tenure 
 track assistant professor in the Physics Department since August 2022. She
  currently is also a group leader at Paul Scherrer Institute. Prior to joi
 n ETH Zurich\, she worked as a postdoctoral associate at the Massachusetts
  Institute of Technology between 2018 and 2022. She received her Ph.D. in 
 physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-​Champaign in 2018. He
 r research interests are centered on quantum simulation\, quantum computat
 ion\, and quantum nonlinear optics with experimental platforms based on ne
 utral atoms.\n
