SUMMARY:Speaker: Joshua Combes (JILA) - Title: Game of Qubits: winter is coming
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: April 4\, 2024 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Joshua Combes (JILA) \nTitle: Game of Qubits: winter is coming \nAbstract: The ‘Quantum Winter’ is a term that paints a scenario where the progress in quantum computing might significantly slow down\, accompanied by a decrease in both public and private investment\, and mounting skepticism regarding the field’s potential and future accomplishments. This concept echoes the historical ‘AI Winters\,’ periods of contraction in artificial intelligence research. In this presentation\, I will first evaluate our current milestones in quantum hardware development\, setting the stage for an understanding of why there’s a growing concern about an impending Quantum Winter. Following this\, I’ll share my forecasts\, pinpointing specific years when we might anticipate this cooldown to manifest. To conclude\, I’ll turn the lens inward\, contemplating proactive strategies and responses we\, as a research community\, should consider to navigate and possibly mitigate the impact of this predicted quantum chill. This talk aims not only to forecast but to fortify our resolve in advancing quantum computing through potential adversities. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98854322464?pwd=K2tKUm1VZjRlV1J5RHE3cXdHQzRxdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464\n\nPasscode: 142239
