- Time: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
- Speaker: Prof. Gerhard Rempe
- Location: ITAMP Auditorium
Prof. Dr. Gerhard Rempe, director at MPQ and co-director of the MPHQ, gave a talk with the title "Quantum Internet: Vision or Fiction?" at ITAMP as part of the Joint Quantum Seminar at Harvard.
Quantum mechanics is useful: It allows us to understand nature and develop technologies that are not possible within classical mechanics. An example is the quantum computer that, once realized, needs a quantum communication environment – a quantum internet. With this in mind, the talk will discuss a unique toolbox for distributed quantum computation and quantum communication with photonic qubits that travel between atomic quantum memories localized in optical resonators as quantum interfaces
