Title: Materials for Quantum Computing: On and off the Beaten Path

Abstract: The semiconductor industry has the integration of billions of high-performance transistors into working computers, forming the backbone of the current information age. As we look to the quantum information age of tomorrow, what materials will enable the integration of many excellent qubits into a practical quantum computer? How can we efficiently measure and evaluate the quantum properties of these materials at scale to accelerate progress in the field? In this seminar, I  will explore advancements in silicon and germanium quantum-engineered materials, highlight our most significant results that demonstrate key building blocks for quantum technology, and outline the most promising avenues toward scalable quantum information processing.

A light lunch will be served in the Bowen Atrium at noon.
