IEEE Life Member-Austin July 2018 Meeting: Quantum Computing
IEEE CTS Life Members Austin
Major US Corp. are investing $2.2B in Quantum Computing research and Venture Capitals put in $147M to Quantum Computing Start-ups, according to Deloitte Advisroy LLP.
An important question to ask is whether quantum computers are distinctly different from classical computers. In this talk Brian will describe an approach his team have developed to emulating a gate-based quantum computer using only analog electronics. Such a device is capable of exhibiting many of the important features traditionally thought to be uniquely quantum, such as superposition and entanglement, yet is entirely classical in nature. By representing a quantum state by the frequency content of an analog signal, we achieve an inherent "quantum parallelism" that can provide for greater computational efficiency.

Biography:
Dr. Brian La Cour is a Research Scientist at Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin and directs the Center for Quantum Research. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from The University of Texas at Austin and M.S. degrees in both Physics and Mathematics from the University of New Orleans. Since 2001 he has worked extensively in the areas of signal processing, statistical modeling, and underwater acoustics. His current research interests include quantum computing and quantum foundations.
