Multi-qubit Quantum Operations - Challenges and Approaches

Format

This 1.5 day workshop will bring together leading figures in quantum computing, along with researchers involved in supporting technologies. The first half of the agenda is given to presentations that will lay out the many issues that face each of the leading approaches to quantum computing as they progress to multi-qubit systems. Since there is some commonality between the needs of these diverse systems, it benefits the community to hear each of these perspectives.

Following that will be smaller meetings, broken up by qubit type. This is where the questions that frame the workshop, and others that have been posed by the speakers, will be addressed. It is expected that there will be frank and open discussion between active researchers in the field to lay out in as much detail as possible what are the realistic approaches, as well as difficulties with no known solution, that are looming in the next three to five years. The results of these discussions will be documented, and the next morning reported to the group at large.

Finally, at the end of the workshop, there will be an opportunity for very brief, three to four minute presentations from anybody that would like to add or respond to what has already been discussed.

Because of the nature and goals of this event, it is asked that registrants be senior researchers within their groups with a strong interest in addressing, and well developed ideas about, the problems and issues that are outlined in the workshop description.
