Title: Enhancing Technologies with Quantum Phenomena: Problems and Solutions
Speaker: Dr. Yaakov S. Weinstein, Group Leader for the Quantum Information Science Group, The MITRE Corporation
Date: Monday, September 12, 2016
Location: NASA/LaRC, B2102, Reid
Time: 1:00pm
 Abstract: Computation, communication and sensing are examples of technologies that can be made more efficient and accurate by utilizing features of quantum mechanics. This talk will outline MITRE research in identifying and solving some of the challenges to realizing such quantum enhanced technologies. This includes correcting quantum errors, hacking quantum networks and communication systems, and ruggedizing quantum sensing.
