There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Abstract: Quantum computation promises to provide scientists and engineers a new tool for accurately and efficiently calculating the properties of materials and molecules. The challenge is how to build a sufficiently large quantum computer that can compete with today's classical computer systems. After introducing the promises and challenges of quantum computers, I will discuss my group's approach to making robust quantum computers via quantum control and quantum error correction.
