Dear MSPQC students, I will be placing a PO for one of those keys (#200) and it would be good to know if more are needed so that we can just place one PO. If you need any please email me with the key number (each lock is numbered with tiny numbers scribed on it). Thank you, Katerina Katerina Moloni, PhD Associate Director MSPQC<https://www.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc-program/> and WQI<https://wqi.wisc.edu/> University of Wisconsin-Madison Mobile: +1 608 698 0503 5207 Chamberlin Hall

RESPONSE REQUESTED: Share your Interest in Participating in the Physics Student Research Colloquium on Aug. 5, 2024
by ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

Dear UW Physics Graduate Students: It's the time of year where I reach out to gauge interest in participating in the Physics Student Research Colloquium. The Department of Physics is hosting the 2nd annual Student Research Colloquium on Friday, August 5, 2024! This special colloquium features talks from UW-Physics graduate students that showcase the phenomenal and exciting research of students happening throughout the department. The talks will be of introductory physics level and open to all. The goal of this event is threefold: 1. Provide a space for graduate students to share with and hear from their peers about their diverse research and interests in the UW Dept. of Physics 2. Introduce undergraduate students in Physics to the possibilities of graduate research in Physics 3. Contribute to a culture of sharing and community building across the Dept. of Physics-this includes graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty, and staff Each talk will be ~15 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for questions. Talks from all areas of research in physics are encouraged. The idea is to share your research work and experience with your graduate peers and undergraduate physics majors with the goal of sharing information and raising awareness and interest in physics research. Guidance on structure of the talk: * Title and Introduction * What is your research/experiment? * Significance of the research work * Methodology used and potential impacts of your project/work * You could also include a slide on work culture/environment in your group * Since this is for undergrad audience in addition to a grad-student audience, please consider how to explain specific technical terms to a diverse population * Include visuals/graphics that help to illustrate your work processes, experiment set-up, findings, etc. We also plan to have a Q&A panel discussion to talk about graduate school with topics ranging from coursework to starting research in a group. This can be a good opportunity to share your grad school experience with undergraduate students and help them as they consider next steps in their educational or career path. However, it is still unclear whether the graduate student panel will take place on the same day as colloquium or another day during the spring semester. Please complete the following survey so we can gauge interest in participation to better plan for this event. If you respond that you are interested in participating or attending, we will make sure to include you on future communication as we continue the planning process. Please complete the survey by Sunday, February 11, 2024 @ 11:59 PM: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCslIRaRr-PdZn4eMGWtLxmCfSeh3gGAI… We would love to hear about your research! Please reach out to elizabeth.baldridge(a)wisc.edu<mailto:elizabeth.baldridge@wisc.edu> with questions about this event. Kind Regards, Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed.

Fwd: WQI Seminar today

Dear MSPQC students, I believe you get the physics announcements for this but I am forwarding just in case. Katerina Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: KATERINA MOLONI <moloni(a)wisc.edu> Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2024 10:45 AM To: wqi(a)lists.physics.wisc.edu <wqi(a)lists.physics.wisc.edu> Subject: WQI Seminar today Dear WQI researchers, This is a reminder that our WQI January seminar is today! We hope to see you there, Katerina Thursday, January, 25th, 2024 Wisconsin Quantum Institute Seminar<https://www.physics.wisc.edu/events/?id=8476> Time & Place: 3:30pm - 5:00pm, Discovery Building, DeLuca Forum Speaker: Menno Veldhorst, QuTech – Delft University of Technology Title: Semiconductor qubits on the move: low power and high-fidelity quantum gates Abstract: Loss and DiVincenzo proposed in 1998 that quantum dots define excellent building blocks for a fault-tolerant quantum computer. By confining individual electrons in quantum dots, qubits can be defined on the electron spin states, and controlled using electrical signals. Two decades of intensive research on spin qubits in quantum dots has resulted in many proof-of-principle demonstrations. However, a realization of the original proposal remained elusive. In their proposal, Loss and DiVincenzo envisaged that if the magnetic orientation varies between quantum dots, hopping an electron between the two quantum dots would allow for fast and efficient qubit logic. Practically, it has remained too challenging to create such variations in the magnetic orientation. Here, we demonstrate that changes in the spin quantization axis can be realized, by making use of spin qubits in germanium. This is achieved by exploiting the strong spin-orbit interaction in germanium, which can cause orientations that differ by tens of degrees. In addition, we establish hopping of an electron between two quantum dots, where the spin remains coherent over effective length scales beyond a millimeter. This allows to realize qubit fidelities up to 99.97% and two-qubit gates of 99.3%. We then apply our findings to larger quantum circuits to explore pathways toward fault-tolerant quantum computation. This event starts at 3:30pm with refreshments, followed at 3:45pm by a short presentation by Yinqi Chen (PhD student Maxim Vavilov group) titled "Voltage-Controlled Quantum Entanglement in Superconductor-Semiconductor Devices". The invited presentation starts at 4pm.
