IEEE General Meeting
Dr. Todd Brun
Quantum Computers
Tuesday, Nov. 6, 6pm, SOS B46 Abstract:
One of the most exciting ideas for a new computing paradigm has been developed over the last ten or fifteen years: quantum computing, in which a computer built to exploit the properties of quantum mechanics can solve certain problems in radically new (and more efficient) ways. It has been shown that quantum computers can (in principle) factor large numbers efficiently, which would enable them to break the popular RSA public-key encryption protocol; quantum communications can also be used to produce unconditionally secure transmissions. We will briefly review the basic idea of a quantum computer, and look quickly at the current state of theory and experiment. Finally we will speculate about other problems that might be solved by a future generation of quantum computers. Bio:
Todd Brun received an A.B. in Physics from Harvard University in 1989 and a Master's and Ph.D. in Physics from Caltech in 1991 and 1994. Since then he has held positions at the University of London, the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara (now the Kavli Institute), Carnegie Mellon University, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering and the University of Southern California, and the Associate Chair of the department. He works on various aspects of quantum theory, with a particular emphasis on quantum computing and quantum information processing.Location: Social Sciences Building (SOS) - B46
