ECE Seminar -Learning how to create, study, and manipulate highly entangled states of matter is key to understanding exotic phenomena in condensed matter and high energy physics, as well as to the development of useful quantum computers. In this talk, I will discuss recent experiments where we demonstrated the realization of a quantum spin liquid phase using Rydberg atoms on frustrated lattices and a new architecture based on the coherent transport of entangled atoms through a 2D array. Combining these results with novel technical tools on atom array platforms could open a broad range of possibilities for the exploration of entangled matter, with powerful applications in quantum simulation and information.
Giulia Semeghini is an experimental physicist with expertise in atomic physics, quantum optics, and quantum information. Her main scientific interests are the investigation of complex quantum many-body phases and the development of efficient
protocols for quantum information processing using neutral atom platforms. She is currently an MPHQ postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University in the group of Mikhail Lukin, where she helped develop the second generation of atom array platform with
hundreds of Rydberg atoms in two-dimensional arrays and worked on several projects on quantum simulation and computation. She holds a PhD in Physics from the University of Florence, where she worked on Bose-Einstein condensates with
tunable interactions to study complex quantum phenomena such as Anderson localization and quantum droplets.TIME Thursday, February 24, 2022 at 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

EVENT DETAILS
In this talk I will describe work in the Center for Robotics and Biosystems on robotic manipulation, including autonomous in-hand robotic manipulation and safe, intuitive human-collaborative manipulation among one or more humans and a team of mobile manipulators. I will also introduce the new US National Science Foundation Human AugmentatioN via Dexterity (HAND) Engineering Research Center. This initiative was funded in September 2024 for up to 10 years and $52M to revolutionize the ability of robots to augment human labor via versatile dexterous robot hands that are useful out of the box.
