Recent progress in quantum computation and simulation with the trapped ion system Abstract: In this talk, I will review the recent progress in quantum computation and simulation with the trapped ion system, with particular emphasis on ideas to scale up the system to many qubits, using both the photonic network approach and the new design of quantum gates in scalable anharmonic ion traps. Prof. Luming Duan received both his bachelor (in 1994) and Ph.D degree (in 1998) in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). He joined the faculty of physics department at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) in 2003, tenured in 2007, and promoted to full professor in 2010. He also holds CC Yao honorary Professorship at Tsinghua University since 2011. He has published 110 papers in prestigious physics journals, with a total citation about 8000 times. He has received a number of recognitions, including the A. P. Sloan fellowship, the outstanding young researcher award from the Oversea Chinese Physics Association, and the Henry Russel Award from the University of Michigan. He was elected to fellow of the American Physical Society in 2009. |
