Abstract: Recently, neutral atoms have come to the forefront as a promising modality for quantum computing. This talk will present some of the recent updates and advancements of QuEra computing and neutral atom computers. Beginning with an overview of the modality and how to access QuEra’s hardware with our SDK “Bloqade”, the talk will present applications and algorithms on analog-mode hardware, near-term fault-tolerant demonstrations on digital-mode hardware, and an outlook on the future of error corrected utility with neutral atoms.
Bio: Jonathan Wurtz is the quantum solutions lead at QuEra Computing, where he has worked for over three years on the theory team to leverage neutral atom quantum computers to solve hard computational challenges. Jonathan got his Ph.D. from Boston University in 2020 studying theoretical quantum nonequilibrium phenomena in condensed matter systems. He is excited to push forward the field across the quantum computing stack, from compilers and hybrid HPC integration to algorithms development and application co-design, to bring forth the era of real quantum utility.
