| Event Name | Date, Time and Host | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Accessing high-density charge transport regime in graphene with modulation doping and high-k electrostatics |
Abstract: Two-dimensional materials offer a vast range of band structures, yet experiments have explored only a narrow portion of them, in part because conventional electrostatic gating limits the accessible carrier density. We use two approaches to extreme doping of… Show more Speaker: Dr. Dmitry Shcherbakov, Department of Physics, Washington University in St. Louis |

| Engineering Approaches for Scalable Trapped-Ion Quantum Computation |
Abstract: Scalable quantum computation has the potential to solve certain problems far more efficiently than classical computation. Trapped ions offer a promising platform for scalable quantum computation. However, as the system size scales up, both computational… Show more Speaker: Prof. Wenchao Ge, Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering, University of Missouri |

| Phonons, Quasiparticles, and Correlated Errors in Superconducting Qubits |
Abstract: Phonon bursts in the substrate of a superconducting qubit array with energy above the superconducting gap can produce dissipative quasiparticle excitations in the electrodes of many qubits on a chip, leading to correlated errors between qubits. Mitigating… Show more Speaker: Prof. Britton Plourde, University of Wisconsin-Madison |

| Alternative Synthetic Pathways Targeting Quantum Materials |
Abstract: Conventional synthesis of solid-state materials typically requires high temperatures above 600 °C and long heating times, from days to weeks, to enable atomic diffusion and formation of the thermodynamically stable phase. Although many important materials… Show more Speaker: Prof. Kelly Powderly, Department of Chemistry, Washington University in St. Louis |
