Kristen Pudenz is VP, Research Programs at Atom Computing, managing external collaborative research to accomplish shared scientific goals and internal program management. Previously she was Corporate Lead for Quantum at Lockheed Martin, setting the vision and advocating for quantum programs across the corporation. Kristen received her electrical engineering Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, where she pioneered Quantum Annealing Correction, a novel and highly practical error correction technique.
Presentation Title:
Designing Neutral Atom Quantum Computers for Error Correction
Presentation Abstract:
As we enter the era of error corrected quantum computing, it’s important for hardware providers to design systems with characteristics favorable to error correction. Neutral atom systems can provide tools like large numbers of qubits, all to all connectivity, parallel gate operations, and mid-circuit measurement that enable flexibility and efficiency in the implementation of error correcting codes and the algorithms that run on top of them. This talk will explain recent Atom Computing results in hardware and error correction.
