Two Experts talking Quantum

Ignacio Cirac is one of the five directors at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and head of the theory division, for which Flore Kunst works as a postdoc. As a Max-Planck-Harvard Postdoctoral Fellow, she develops new theories about non-equilibrium topological phases within the single-particle limit and in many-body systems. During this talk, they explore some basics of Quantum Physics, Quantum Computers, and in the end, the relevance of a proposal from 1995 by Ignacio Cirac and Peter Zoller published in the Physical Review Letter called “Quantum Computations with Cold Trapped Ions”. This was the first working concept for a Quantum Computer.
In Nature Reviews Physics from May 18th., 2020, Iulia Georgescu describes it as followed: "(...) when it comes to the first conception of how to actually build a quantum computer, one result stands out. On 15 May 1995, a paper by Ignacio Cirac and Peter Zoller was published in Physical Reviews Letters. It showed that atomic ions, trapped in a vacuum and cooled using lasers, could be used as qubits with which elementary quantum logic operations could be performed. The Cirac-Zoller paper turned quantum computing from a bold theoretical idea into an experimental race to build an actual device." (www.nature.com...)

This is a real *shit*

Awesome video! Very insightful!

[@deepak180379]

nice discussion..got to know few terms like ions and superconducting qubits..

[@vjkrishn82]

Ignacio Cirac proves the fact that experience matters..the other speaker seems like is learning a lot from Ignacio..he seems to be a good mentor to the other speaker who is relatively new to the field..and btw I am able to understand each and every word of the discussion..I can add to it..why are they not discussing about Grover's algorithm..it has far more implications in solving NP hard problems..the area of mathematics which is least understood..

E=mc2 is F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy, AS E=MC2 IS F=MA. The Earth (A PLANET) is a MIDDLE DISTANCE form that is in BALANCED relation to the Sun AND the speed of light (c), AS the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA; AS TIME DILATION ultimately proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Indeed, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mc2 is F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Accordingly, the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches it's revolution. MOREOVER, a given PLANET (INCLUDING WHAT IS THE EARTH) sweeps out EQUAL AREAS in equal times consistent WITH/AS F=ma, E=mc2, AND what is perpetual motion; AS E=MC2 IS F=MA ON BALANCE; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY.
