But these technologies are on ly the tip of the iceberg of what the laws of nature allow. If we can harn ess the full power of quantum mechanics and all of its weird counterintuit ive properties like superposition and entanglement\, we can tap into incre dible new information processing power for super-fast computers and secure communications\, unlike anything known today. The second quantum revoluti on is in full swing\, and the race is on to control the microscopic world of atoms\, photons\, and electrons. In this lecture we will explore this s trange quantum world and learn how researchers at UNM\, the national labs\ , and industry are working to bring its amazing potential to fruition righ t here in New Mexico!\n\nBio: Ivan Deutsch is Distinguished Professor & Re gents Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Mexico. He received his undergraduate degree in physics at MIT and his physics PhD at the University of California\, Berkeley. He is the Founding Director o f the newly established Quantum New Mexico Institute (QNM-I)\, a joint ins titute between the University of New Mexico\, Sandia National Laboratories \, and Los Alamos National Laboratory in quantum information science and e ngineering. His expertise is in theoretical atomic molecular and optical p hysics and quantum information science. He has made contributions to the t heory of quantum control and measurement\, open quantum systems\, and quan tum chaos. He has authored other 110 peer review articles and has been the mentor to over 25 PhD students.\n\nCo-sponsored by: UNM Sigma Xi Chapter\ n\nAgenda: \n5:00 PM Meet and Greet\n\n5:30 PM Buffet Dinner\n\n6:30 PM Si gma Xi and IEEE Awards\n\n6:45 PM Sigma Xi Induction Ceremony\n\n7:00 PM I nvited Speaker\, Dr. Ivan Deutsch\, University of New Mexico\, “New Mexi co is a Quantum State ”\n\n8:00 PM Event ends\n\nBldg: UNM Continuing Ed ucation\, 1634 University Blvd NE\, Abuquerque\, New Mexico\, United State s\, 87131 LOCATION:Bldg: UNM Continuing Education\, 1634 University Blvd NE\, Abuquer que\, New Mexico\, United States\, 87131 ORGANIZER:rhbyrne@sandia.gov SEQUENCE:51 SUMMARY:2025 UNM Sigma Xi and Albuquerque IEEE Section Annual Awards Banque t URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/483363 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>UNM Sigma Xi and Albuquerque IEEE Section Annual Awards Banquet</p>\n<p><strong>Speaker: </strong>Dr. Ivan Deutsch\, University of New Mexico</p>\n<p><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Helvetica'\,sans-serif\; color: black\;">Title:&nbsp\;</spa n></strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Helvetica'\,sans -serif\; color: black\;">New Mexico is a Quantum State </span></p>\n<p cla ss="MsoListParagraph"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family : 'Helvetica'\,sans-serif\; color: black\;">Abstract:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Helvetica'\,sans-serif\; color: black\;">&nbsp\; The first quantum revolution brought us lasers and semico nductors\, the backbone of today&rsquo\;s digital technology that is the f oundation of the modern world.&nbsp\; But these technologies are only the tip of the iceberg of what the laws of nature allow. &nbsp\;If we can harn ess the full power of quantum mechanics and all of its weird counterintuit ive properties like superposition and entanglement\, we can tap into incre dible new information processing power for super-fast computers and secure communications\, unlike anything known today.&nbsp\; The second quantum r evolution is in full swing\, and the race is on to control the microscopic world of atoms\, photons\, and electrons. &nbsp\;In this lecture we will explore this strange quantum world and learn how researchers at UNM\, the national labs\, and industry are working to bring its amazing potential to fruition right here in New Mexico!</span></p>\n<p class="MsoListParagraph "><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Helvetica'\,sans- serif\; color: black\;">Bio: </span></strong><span style="font-size: 12.0p t\; font-family: 'Helvetica'\,sans-serif\;">Ivan Deutsch is Distinguished Professor &amp\; Regents Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the Univers ity of New Mexico.&nbsp\; He received his undergraduate degree in physics at MIT and his physics PhD at the University of California\, Berkeley.&nbs p\; He is the Founding Director of the newly established Quantum New Mexic o Institute (QNM-I)\, a joint institute between the University of New Mexi co\, Sandia National Laboratories\, and Los Alamos National Laboratory in quantum information science and engineering.&nbsp\; His expertise is in th eoretical atomic molecular and optical physics and quantum information sci ence.&nbsp\; He has made contributions to the theory of quantum control an d measurement\, open quantum systems\, and quantum chaos.&nbsp\; He has au thored other 110 peer review articles and has been the mentor to over 25 P hD students.</span></p><br /><br />Agenda: <br /><p>5:00 PM Meet and Greet </p>\n<p>5:30 PM Buffet Dinner</p>\n<p>6:30 PM Sigma Xi and IEEE Awards</p >\n<p>6:45 PM Sigma Xi Induction Ceremony</p>\n<p>7:00 PM Invited Speaker\ , Dr. Ivan Deutsch\, University of New Mexico\, &ldquo\;<span style="font- size: 12.0pt\; font-family: 'Helvetica'\,sans-serif\; mso-fareast-font-fam ily: Aptos\; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin\; color: black\; mso-ansi -language: EN-US\; mso-fareast-language: EN-US\; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\ ;">New Mexico is a Quantum State </span>&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>8:00 PM Event end s</p> END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
