This webinar will describe how photonics plays a central role in several of the leading candidate technologies for building quantum computers and quantum networks. The webinar will discuss trapped ions, trapped neutral atoms, optically active defects and quantum dots in solid-state materials, and purely photonic approaches for realizing quantum processors. We will also talk about how superconducting circuits, which don’t natively involve optics, can be coupled to photonics. The emphasis will be on giving a broad survey of the various photonics-related quantum technologies and the current state-of-the-art in each.
