About the lecture and speaker
This lecture is about a future technology—quantum computing—that uses known laws of quantum physics to compute in new ways. Within this technology challenge are at least two profound questions in basic science: Which problems can be sped up with a quantum computer? How can inadvertent measurement be avoided?
Charles (Charlie) Marcus is an experimental condensed matter physicist who is one of the world leaders in studying nanoscale quantum devices. Professor Marcus currently serves as director of the Niels Bohr Institute Center for Quantum Devices, a basic research center sponsored by the Danish National Research Foundation. He is also director of Microsoft Quantum Lab—Copenhagen, part of a Microsoft-sponsored effort to understand and build a topological quantum information processing device.
The Misel Lecture Series is endowed by a generous gift from Irving and Edyth Misel to the William I. & Bianca M. Fine Charitable Trust.
