SUMMARY:Quantum BC Seminar Series - Dr. Andrew MacRae
DESCRIPTION:Quantum BC Seminar Series \nTuesday\, April 8\, 2025 at 2pm BC Time with Dr. Andrew MacRae \nTitle: \nAtom-Based Quantum Memories and Sources for Telecom Integration \n  \nAbstract: \nI will provide an overview of the emerging concept of the quantum internet\, exploring its foundational building blocks\, its exciting potential\, and the daunting challenges to making it work. I will then delve into three projects underway at the University of Victoria\, each attempting to address some of these challenges: (1) Benchmarking and testing the field-deployability of a commercial quantum memory\, (2) developing a wavelength conversion scheme from rubidium to telecom wavelengths for integration quantum memories with existing fiber-optic networks\, and (3) designing a cavity-enhanced source of squeezed light to boost the efficiency of quantum communication protocols. \n  \nBio: \nDr. Andrew MacRae obtained his PhD in 2012 in the group of Alexander Lvovsky at the University of Calgary. There\, he developed a technique for time resolved quantum tomography of single photons for the first time. He then worked as a postdoc in the group of Dan Stamper-Kurn at the University of California at Berkeley\, studying ultracold atoms in a spinor Bose Einstein Condensate\, and developing methods for reaching unprecedented low temperatures. Following this he worked in industry\, designing control algorithms for ultra-precision CNC machines. He joined the University of Victoria in 2016 as a Lab instructor and has since become an adjunct professor where he runs an AMO research lab. \n  \nJoin on Zoom: \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/69443327772?pwd=TGhhTXFIQ3ZiUmNrN0pUa3FObTNydz09 \nMeeting ID: 694 4332 7772 \nPasscode: 996727 \n

SUMMARY:QSciTech–QuantumBC-CMC Virtual Workshop: Quantum Chemistry 2025
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join a 6-day virtual workshop. This year\, the workshop will focus on quantum chemistry on IBM’s gate-based quantum computers\, incorporating problem-based learning\, teamwork\, and best practices in quantum software development. By the end of the workshop\, you will be able to use the IBM Quantum platform and basic quantum computing tools to solve concrete\, small-scale quantum chemistry problems. The workshop will also include poster sessions\, where participants can showcase what they have learned\, and an awards ceremony recognizing the best team presentations. A total of $1\,500 in prizes will be distributed among the winners. \nhttps://fabricinnovation.ca/qqc-virtual-workshop-quantum-chemistry-2025/ \n
