DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hongqi Xu\, Peking University\nPlease join us for the 
 QSE Center Quantum Seminar with Prof. Hongqi Xu from Peking University\,
  who will give the talk "Towards Semiconductor Spin and Topological Quantu
 m Computing" on Thursday March 21.\nLocation: CE 1 4\n\nPizzas will be ava
 ilable before the seminar at 12:00. All PhDs\, postdocs\, students\, and 
 PIs are welcome to join us.\n\nTITLE: Towards Semiconductor Spin and Topo
 logical Quantum Computing\n\nABSTRACT: Semiconductor spin and topological
  quantum chips have been considered as one of the most promising platforms
  for quantum computing. In comparison with several other platforms\, the f
 abrication techniques of semiconductor quantum computing chips have a grea
 t advantage in the compatibility to the state-of-the-art technology employ
 ed in the semiconductor chip industry of today. In this talk\, after a bri
 ef introduction to different quantum computing platforms pursued worldwide
 \, I will present our recent effort and advancements in several aspects\, 
 towards study and development of semiconductor spin and topological quantu
 m devices and qubits\, including materials growth\, device design\, fabric
 ation\, control electronics\, and fundamental physics. The challenges and 
 possible future directions in the realization of semiconductor quantum pro
 cessors will also be presented and discussed.\n\nBIO: Hongqi Xu is Chair 
 Professor at Peking University and Chief Scientist at Beijing Academy of Q
 uantum Information Sciences. He received his Ph.D. degree in condensed mat
 ter physics in 1991 from Lund University\, Sweden. From 1991 to 1993\, he 
 was employed as Postdoctoral Fellow at Linkoping University\, Sweden. In 1
 993\, he returned to Lund University\, where he was employed as Research A
 ssociate in 1993-1995 and was appointed Assistant Professor in 1995-2001\,
  Associate Professor in 2001-2003\, and Full Professor in 2003-2014. He ha
 s been appointed Chair Professor at Peking University from 2010 and Direct
 or of Beijing Key Laboratory of Quantum Devices at Peking University from 
 2017. From 2021\, he has also been appointed Chief Scientist and Executive
  Director for the Division of Quantum Computing at Beijing Academy of Quan
 tum Information Sciences. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society 
 and a Fellow International of the Japan Society of Applied Physics. His cu
 rrent research areas include experimental and theoretical studies of elect
 ron transport in quantum structures\, topological states of matter\, stron
 g correlated systems\, semiconductor spin physics and spin qubits\, as wel
 l as semiconductor-superconductor hybrids for topological quantum devices 
 and quantum computing.\n
