Quantum Networks and Quantum Data Centers Your formal invite to weekly Qiskit videos ► https://ibm.biz/q-subscribe Speaker: Liang Jiang Host: Olivia Lanes, PhD. Abstract: The internet has had a revolutionary impact on our world. The vision of quantum internet – capable of transmitting quantum information – will provide novel applications that are provably impossible by communicating only classical information. An outstanding challenge of building large scale quantum networks is to establish a quantum channel that can connect remote parties efficiently. Direct quantum communication with optical fiber network over continental scale suffers from fiber attenuation and exponential reduction of communication rate. To overcome this challenge, quantum repeaters and quantum satellites have been proposed and demonstrated to boost communication rates over long distances. In this talk, I will introduce these technologies with the promise of enabling global quantum networks. In addition, I will discuss related research frontiers and promising applications of quantum internet, such as quantum data centers. Bio: Liang Jiang is a professor in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and an Amazon Scholar on Quantum Computing. Jiang received his BS from Caltech in 2004 and PhD from Harvard University in 2009. He was a faculty member at Yale University during 2012-2019. His research focuses on using quantum control and error correction to build large scalable quantum systems. Jiang is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and also a recipient of the Sloan Research Fellowship, the Packard Fellowship, and the APS Landauer-Bennett Award. -- The Qiskit Seminar Series is a deep dive into various academic and research topics within the quantum community. It will feature community members and leaders every Friday, 12 PM EDT.
