QRC Seminar Series - Prof. Dana Z. Anderson

Title:

Quantum In the Kitchen

Abstract:

One can achieve all sorts of useful things, from clocks to computers and many things in between including RF sensors, inertial sensors, and quantum signal processors, using lasers to cool atoms to near absolute zero temperature, and then further manipulating these ultracold atoms with light. We envision a future in which such quantum matter systems are as everyday as lasers are today, and everywhere, from autonomous vehicles to the kitchen.
