NY CREATES Emerging Technologies Seminar
May 9 (Thursday), 2024
11:30 am – 12:30 pm (EDT)
“Quantum Error Correction with GKP States in Superconducting Circuits”
by: Dr. Nicholas Frattini
Quantum Hardware Lead, Nord Quantique
Zoom Pre-Registration required by May 8, available here
https://ny-creates.org/etss/
Abstract: Improving quantum error correction schemes is a central challenge in developing fault-tolerant quantum processors. A high-quality bosonic mode controlled by an auxiliary nonlinear element has proven to be a valid candidate to replace the standard two-level-system approach with a hardware efficient approach. Following the visionary proposal of Gottesman, Kitaev and Preskill (GKP), Nord Quantique has recently prepared, error-corrected, and measured these GKP grid states within a single mode and shown that the logical qubit lifetime increases when error corrected. This presentation explores quantum error correction with GKP states, demonstrating how advancements in device fabrication enable quantum error correction processes to correct more errors than they introduce.
Biography: Dr. Nicholas Frattini received his PhD from Yale University in 2021 for his work on three-wave mixing with superconducting circuits under the supervision of Michel Devoret. As a postdoc, he also worked on microwave-to-optic transduction with Konrad Lehnert and Cindy Regal at JILA in Boulder, Colorado before joining Nord Quantique’s Quantum Hardware team to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum error correction. He has worked on simultaneously stabilized superpositions of coherent states—so-called Schrödinger’s cat states—to form a protected Kerr-cat qubit. It’s one of only a handful of devices to ever enhance the lifetime of encoded quantum information beyond the lifetime of its individual components.
[NNCI WEBINAR]
NNCI Societal and Ethical Implications Webinar
Thursday, May 9, 2024, 3-4 pm Eastern
https://nnci.net/nnci-events
"Philanthropic Funding of Scientific Research"
While a lot of funding of academic labs comes from Federal government agencies, philanthropies are playing an increasingly important role in supporting the scientific enterprise. The mission, goals, and administration of philanthropies are, however, quite different from organizations like the NSF and DOE. This webinar will bring together a panel of experts with extensive experience at philanthropies. We will host a 30-40 minute discussion about the landscape of philanthropic funding for scientific research, followed by ample time for questions from the audience.
Panelists:
Evan Michelson, PhD (Program Director overseeing the Energy and
Environment Program at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation)
Jane Flegal, PhD (Market Development and Policy Lead at Stripe Climate
and Frontier; formerly led the US Climate Programs at the Hewlett
Foundation and the Bernard and Anne Spitzer Charitable Trust)
Josh Greenberg, PhD (Program Director overseeing the Technology and New
York City Programs at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation)
Moderator: Jamey Wetmore, Associate Professor at Arizona State University and Associate Director of the NNCI for Societal and Ethical Implications

[FEYNMAN PRIZE]
Opportunity in Nanotechnology: Applications wanted for the Feynman Prizes
Each year, Foresight Institute awards the Feynman Prizes for contributions to Nanotechnology. I wanted to share the prizes with you in the hope that you could share this opportunity with your students at CNF.
Inaugurated in 1993, the Feynman Prizes recognize recent and brilliant achievements that contribute deeply to the field of Nanotechnology. These prizes are renowned for honoring outstanding work early in people’s careers. In 2007, Sir J. Fraser Stoddart won the Foresight Institute Feynman Prize in Experiment. Merely 9 years later, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.
This year, the application deadline is July 31st.
The winners will receive cash awards ranging from $1000 to the grand prize (unclaimed) of $100,000. They will also be invited to present their work at a Foresight Institute event, such as our upcoming Vision Weekend in December, San Francisco.
Applications wanted for contributions to Nanotechnology! Prizes for Experiment, Theory, and a Student Award. Application deadline: July 31st, 2024.
Please see our website for more information.
