Welcome to the Quantum Information Seminar Series!

We offer monthly talks on cutting-edge research in quantum information science and quantum computing.


Abstract:
Quantum systems constantly interact with their surrounding environment. In quantum computing, the environmental interactions cause noise that disrupt qubit-gate operations.
