We are excited to share that the third seminar of our World-Changing Research and Engineering Webinar Series will be featuring speakers Prof. Martin Weides with "Distilling Entanglement: Quantum Computing Advantage with Superconducting Circuits" and Prof. Edward Wasige with "High-Frequency Electronics: Snapshot of the Status and Future Perspectives". Join us on Zoom. Distilling Entanglement: Quantum Computing Advantage with Superconducting Circuits Prof. Martin Weides Abstract: Quantum Computing and Simulation receives considerable attention from the academic and commercial sector, as well as from the media. Non-classically interacting states of qubits play a central role in all quantum technologies, from Bell states to quantum annealing & simulation to achieving a quantum advantage in computing. Today, realising the second quantum revolution appears feasible, with superconducting quantum circuits having matured over the last years to the leading platform for quantum coherent information processing devices. The micro-and nanostructured circuits are formed by thin metallic films and are operated at temperatures of 10mK. Coherent control of the quantum states and their readout is achieved by microwave pulses generated outside the cryostats. Strong coupling to microwave photons, localized control and readout and the ability to produce purpose-built quantum circuits using established nanofabrication techniques give rise to an unprecedented variety of implementation and application schemes. For instance, scaled modern circuits have ~50 qubits and are reaching a computational complexity at the limit of today’s high-performance data centres. In this talk, an introduction to the field will be given, including a view on future technological challenges and their application potential beyond computing.   High-Frequency Electronics: Snapshot of the Status and Future Perspectives Prof. Edward Wasige Abstract: This talk will give an overview of current and future applications of High-Frequency Electronics (HFE). HFE are at the heart of modern systems including WiFi, satellite communications and automotive radar to name but a few. They are a key enabling technology for wireless communications (incl. 5G and future 6G networks and terahertz communications), imaging (e.g. airport scanners) and radar (future autonomous vehicles). The talk will discuss the semiconductor technologies which enable the various applications, some challenges in technology development and future perspectives with examples of current research from the HFE group at the University of Glasgow. Biography: Edward Wasige is a Professor of High-Frequency Electronics at the University of Glasgow. He received the BSc (Eng.) degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nairobi, Kenya, in 1988, the MSc (Eng.) degree in Microelectronics and Telecommunications from the University of Liverpool, U.K., in 1990, and the Dr.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from Kassel University, Germany, in 1999. Prior to joining the University of Glasgow as a Lecturer in 2002, he was a UNESCO postdoctoral fellow at The Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and before that a Lecturer at Moi University in Kenya. He leads research on compound semiconductor micro-/nanoelectronics and applications with focus gallium nitride (GaN) and indium phosphide (InP) based electronics and has led a number of major projects in these areas. Professor Wasige will be the Technical Programme Chair of the next European Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC) conference, European Microwave Week, https://www.eumw2021.com/, in London.
