DESCRIPTION:The Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics p
 resents a public lecture: \n\nExploring New Quantum Horizons\n\nGiulia Sem
 eghini\, Harvard University\n\nAbstract: Quantum computers\, machines that
  harness the power of quantum physics and have the potential to outperform
  their classical counterparts\, have recently captured the public's imagin
 ation. Amidst the waves of hype and skepticism in the media\, what is at t
 he origin of the excitement and what is the real progress of this quest at
  the frontiers of quantum science and engineering? In this talk\, I will d
 elve into the motivations driving this quest\, explore the current status 
 of quantum computing\, and present some recent results\, including the rea
 lization of programmable quantum platforms with hundreds of quantum bits. 
 I will also discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and dr
 ive a worldwide community in this cutting-edge field.\n\nGuilia Semeghini\
 , Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at Harvard University\, is an exp
 erimentalist whose research centers on quantum simulation of complex mater
 ials and quantum information processing on neutral atom platforms. She rec
 eived her Ph.D. from the University of Florence\, and completed her underg
 raduate and master's work at the University of Milan.\n\nSponsored by the 
 Boulder School for Condensed Matter and Materials Physics\, the National S
 cience Foundation\, and the University of Colorado Boulder Physics Dept. F
