Invitation to the Science Cafe, Friday, April 19 7pm at Wing Central on the Ave

As a member of the UW Science community  you are cordially invited to attend  the "Science Cafe" get-together.

The Science Cafe is a mix of science, drinks, and community.

The Science Topic will be: *Quantum Computing and Black Hole Simulations via Ion Trapping.****

The event will held held Friday, April 19th at Wing Central on the Ave (University Way)
  4524 University Way N.E.

Many of us are still confused on the subject of Quantum Computing: How does it work?

What constitutes Quantum information?  How do we harness this crazy, new type of information?  These questions will be answered throughout this talk.  Using techniques such as Ion Trapping, Laser Physics, and Radio Frequency Fields, Tomasz (UW Physics Graduate Student) will discuss how we can use these technologies, in order to get control over the Quantum states that we need. We can then utilize the Quantum states in the form of Quantum Computing, and Black Hole Simulations at The Quantum Information Systems Group, University of Washington branch.
