DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jungsang Kim\, Duke University\nUtilizing unique propert
 ies of quantum physics in principle enables computational speeds unmatched
  by a conventional computer for an important set of problems. On the other
  hand\, the practical technology to construct a functional\, scalable quan
 tum computer remains a major challenge. Trapped ion systems feature long c
 oherence times\, high fidelity quantum logic gates\, and high quantum effi
 ciency state detection adequate for implementation of high performance qua
 ntum computer. However\, similar to transistor technology in the early day
 s\, we do not have a scalable technology platform on which large numbers o
 f trapped ions can be integrated\, nor an architectural framework for asse
 mbling a complex functional circuit capable of executing useful algorithms
 . In this work\, I will present a scalable quantum computer architecture f
 or trapped ions\, based on both local Coulomb interaction and photonic lin
 ks interconnected through a reconfigurable optical network. This architect
 ure provides possibility for implementation of large-scale fault-tolerant 
 quantum circuits capable of executing practical algorithms with orders of 
 magnitude higher efficiency. Experimental realization requires incorporati
 on of microfabriation\, MEMS\, advanced digital circuits and optical syste
 ms technologies\, along with new protocols for quantum logic operations. I
  will provide concrete technology challenges and experimental progress in 
 meeting them\, towards a demonstration of 80-qubit general-purpose quantum
  processor.
