Manuel A. Castellanos-Beltran NIST Abstract: Over the last two decades there has been tremendous interest in the advance of large-scale quantum computers. In particular, superconducting quantum processors has become the leading candidate for scalable quantum computing plat-form. Some of the initial research that paved the way for this field to take off was done at […]
Matt Beard National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Abstract: In this presentation I will discuss our studies of controlling the charge carrier dynamics, light/matter interactions, and spin populations in metal-halide organic/inorganic hybrid systems. Lower dimensional perovskites are of particular interest since the lower degree of symmetry of the metal-halide connected octahedra and the large spin-orbit coupling […]

Eliot Kapit Colorado School of Mines, Department of Physics Abstract: A huge range of important problems in computer science--including task optimization, formal logic, encryption, and machine learning--can be solved by finding the sequence of binary variables that optimizes a cost function defined by a series of few-variable constraint relationships. Many of these problems are in […]
