"Prospects for Quantum Computation"
David DiVincenzo
IBM Research
Abstract:
A "standard model" for the physical implementation of a quantum
computer was laid out some years ago. It indicated a set of
capabilities that had to be achieved to make quantum processing
possible: 1) systems with well-characterized qubits must be
constructed. 2) These qubits should be initializable to the "0" state.
3) It must be possible to control the one- and two-qubit Hamiltonian of
the system, so that unitary quantum logic gates are enacted. 4)
Decoherence and imprecision of gate operations must be kept very low.
5) Reliable measurements of the quantum state of individual qubits must
be possible. In this talk I will indicate current progress towards
these goals.
Bio:
Dr. David P. DiVincenzo received his Ph.D. (1983), M.S.E. (1980) and
B.S.E. (1979) from the University of Pennsylvania. Since 1985, he has
been a Research Staff Member in the Physical Sciences Department at the
IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. He has worked
throughout his career in various problems in condensed matter physics.
Since 1993, one of his main interests has been quantum computing; he
has important results in quantum information theory, and in the
physical realizations of quantum computers. In particular, he is well
known for proposing a set of five criteria (commonly called
DiVincenzo's checklist) for the physical implementation of quantum
computers. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the
Editor-in-Chief of the Virtual Journal of Quantum Information.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Current developments in the technology of imaging have led to an explosive
growth in the interdisciplinary field of imaging science. With the advent
of new devices capable of seeing objects and structures not previously
imagined, the reach of science and medicine has been extended in a
multitude of different ways. The impact of this technology has been to
generate new challenges associated with the problems of formation,
acquisition, compression, transmission, and analysis of images. By their
very nature, these challenges cut across the disciplines of physics,
engineering, mathematics, biology, medicine, and statistics. While the
primary purpose of this conference is to focus on mathematical issues, the
biomedical aspects of imaging will also play an important role.
