My Favourite Qubit: the atomic ion

Available to watch now, IOP Publishing in partnership with HUBNER Photonics and Kiutra, explores how to build a fully programmable quantum computer from a single atom

Want to learn more on this subject?

Internal energy levels of a single atom represent nature’s perfect qubit – the quantum two-level system that is the building block of quantum computing technology.

At the Duke Quantum Center, we trap single atomic ions using electric fields and manipulate the qubits using lasers to perform quantum gates.

In this webinar, Crystal Noel will describe how we start with single atoms and build a fully programmable quantum computer.

Crystal Noel is an assistant professor in electrical and computer engineering and physics at Duke University, where she is part of the Duke Quantum Center. Crystal received her BS from MIT in 2013, and then moved to UC Berkeley for her graduate studies with Prof. Hartmut Haeffner. After completing her PhD in trapped ion quantum computation in 2019, she worked with Christopher Monroe at University of Maryland as a postdoc. Crystal started at Duke in 2021 as a research scientist before joining the faculty in 2022. Her research spans the field of trapped ions from device engineering and photonics integration to quantum computing systems engineering to high-level algorithms and applications.

This webinar is the second in our ‘My Favourite Qubit’ series. Why not sign up for our other webinar? Even if you’re not able to join the live event, registering now enables you to access the recording as soon as it’s available.
