Are you actively engaged in, or interested in learning more about recent advances in quantum science and technology? The race to a quantum future is on. Across the globe, countries, and governments are competing to establish and grow their commercialization of quantum technologies. There is an imminent concern by experts in the field that the U.S. may not be able to lead the quantum race due to lack of trained quantum scientists and engineers. This journal club aims to address this concern and introduce engineers and scientists at the University of Iowa to quantum computing, sensing, and communication technologies that have powerful applications in many industries, including medicine, defense, financial services, and natural resources.
The Jumpstarting a Quantum Simulation Program team at the University of Iowa are organizing a Journal Club to bring together a community of interested graduate students, research staff, and faculty learn about research ongoing across campus as well as around the world. The Journal club will be held biweekly on Wednesdays in IATL 334, with a hybrid online option available. The time will alternate between 4 pm and 9 am on Wednesdays to accommodate a wider range of schedules.
Each week one speakers selected from the attendees will present a seminal paper from their field.
The first week (2nd of February 4 pm) we will start with Prof. Ravi Uppu, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy and PI of the Jumpstarting team.
The second week (16th of February 9 am), Prof Fatima Toor, Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and team member will present.
If you would like to learn more, please email [email protected], with ‘Quantum Literature’ in the subject to be added into the outlook group to learn more and receive updates to scheduling throughout the semester.
