  Location:

  iCal

  We will be hosting three observatory viewings during Fall 2018:

  September 7, 2018 9:00-10:00 pm
  If the skies are clear, we will be looking at Jupiter and Saturn.

  October 12, 2018 8:00-9:00 pm
  If the skies are clear, we will be looking at the crescent Moon, Saturn, and Mars.

  November 2, 2018 8:00-9:00 pm
  If the skies are clear, we will be looking at Saturn and Mars.

  We will begin taking reservations for all three observatory viewings this fall on Tuesday, August 14 at 12:00 pm noon. Request a reservation at https://www.physast.uga.edu/reservations.

• Departmental Colloquium Aug 16, 2018

  The Upside Down World of Random Quantum Systems

  

  Guest: Prof. Michael Geller, UGA Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Thursday, August 16, 2018 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
  Location: Physics Auditorium (202)

  iCal

  I will explain the idea that random quantum states and systems have universal physical attributes that make them all look alike. This is a consequence of a rigorous geometric property of hyperspheres, and is in stark contrast to what we are used to, where the wave functions of a free particle, atom, and oscillator are all different. I will use this idea to motivate a challenge for quantum computers to test for these universal physical attributes, thereby testing whether or not a given simulated quantum system is "typical“.

• Applied Physics Seminar Aug 17, 2018

  Recent developments and new opportunities in quantum computation

  

  Guest: Prof. Michael Geller, UGA Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Friday, August 17, 2018 12:20 pm - 1:20 pm
  Location: CSP Conference Room (322)

  iCal

  Quantum computers, which promise enormous computational power for certain specialized tasks, are being developed by universities, government labs, and technology companies worldwide. I will briefly review the current status of quantum computers, their demanding requirements for error correction, and the current attempts at prethreshold (non-error- corrected) quantum computation. I will also highlight areas where I think there will be significant future opportunities for physicists and materials scientists.
