Biography<\/em><\/h3>\n

Dr. David Awschalom is the Liew Family Professor and Vice Dean of the Pritzker School for Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, a Senior Scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, and Director of the Chicago Quantum Exchange. He is also the inaugural director of Q-NEXT, one of the US Department of Energy Quantum Information Science Research Centers. Before arriving in Chicago, he was the Director of the California NanoSystems Institute and Professor of Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California \u2013 Santa Barbara, and previously a Research Staff Member and Manager at the IBM Watson Research Center. He works in spintronics and quantum information engineering, studying the quantum states of electrons, nuclei, and photons in semiconductors and molecules for quantum information processing. Awschalom received the APS Oliver Buckley Prize and Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize, the EPS Europhysics Prize, the MRS David Turnbull Award and Outstanding Investigator Prize, the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize, the International Magnetism Prize from the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, and an IBM Outstanding Innovation Award. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, the National Academy of Science, the National Academy of Engineering, and the European Academy of Sciences.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abstract<\/em><\/h3>\n

Traditional electronics are rapidly approaching the length scale of atoms and molecules: the\nlatest computer chips in development include transistors the size of a single strand of DNA.\u00a0\u00a0In\nthis regime, a single atom out of place can have outsized negative consequences and so scaling\ndown classical technologies requires ever-more perfect control of materials. \u00a0Surprisingly, one\nof the most promising pathways out of this conundrum\u00a0may emerge from current efforts to\nembrace these atomic \u2018defects\u2019 to construct devices that enable new information processing,\ncommunication, and sensing technologies based on the quantum nature of electrons and\natomic nuclei. In addition to their charge, the property of electrons used in classical computing,\nindividual defects in semiconductors and molecules possess an electronic spin state that can be\nemployed as a quantum bit. \u00a0These qubits can be manipulated and read using a simple\ncombination of light and microwaves with a built-in optical interface and retain their quantum\nproperties over millisecond to second timescales. With these foundations in hand, we discuss\nemerging opportunities and the importance of national quantum research centers to\ncollaborate with industry and atomically-engineer qubits for nuclear memories, entangled\nregisters, sensors and networks for science and technology.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
