In principle, a quantum computer can solve many quantum chemistry problems exponentially faster than a classical computer. In practice, building a reliable, scalable quantum computer is a formidable challenge. In this talk, I discuss our progress towards building quantum computers using atomic ions held in surface-electrode ion traps. I also describe a series of control protocols that we have developed to improve the reliability of quantum operations. Finally, I will briefly discuss our use of quantum information tools to accurately probe the properties of molecular ions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/mailto:charles.liotta@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Charles Liotta\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-8222).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EProf. Ken Brown, Georgia Tech\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIon trap quantum computers for chemistry\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESchool Colloquium\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Ken Brown, Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2012-02-20 11:47:17","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:58:05","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2012-09-13T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2012-09-13T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2012-09-13T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2012-09-13 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2012-09-13 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2012-09-13 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"110541":{"id":"110541","type":"image","title":"colloquium logo","body":null,"created":"1449178201","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:30:01","changed":"1475894728","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:45:28","alt":"colloquium logo","file":{"fid":"194080","name":"colloquium_logo_small.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/colloquium_logo_small_0.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/colloquium_logo_small_0.png","mime":"image\/png","size":44315,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/colloquium_logo_small_0.png?itok=SzUKfixh"}}},"media_ids":["110541"],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EShirley Tomes (404-894-0591) \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:shirley.tomes@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eshirley.tomes@chemistry.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
