Title: Engineering New Physical Reality:  Quantum Computing with Topological Materials 

 

Zhenghan Wang, University of California Santa Barbara and Microsoft Station Q

 

Zhenghan Wang

Abstract:  One unique approach to quantum computing is topological quantum computing.  This topological platform requires new materials to be engineered for ideal model Hamiltonions spawned from the most abstract reach of mathematics.  I will introduce this approach to a general audience.
