Prehistoric quantum bits: experiments testing the fundamental physics of superconducting quantum devices

Dr. John Martinis

Dr. John Martinis

UC Santa Barbara and Qolab

Quantum mechanics was developed to describe the physics of the small, for fundamental particles, atoms and molecules. But does it still work for macroscopic systems? Dr. Martinis will describe the history of creating macroscopic quantum systems in the lab, from fundamental tests of quantum laws to the latest in quantum devices and quantum computing.
