Whether the platform is based on supercond ucting circuits\, semiconductor spins\, atoms\, ions\, or photons\, perfor mance and scalability depend critically on materials quality\, interfaces\ , defect control\, process uniformity\, and integration.\n\nApplied Materi als is bringing decades of semiconductor manufacturing expertise to these challenges. Its quantum technology program is applying advanced materials engineering\, 300-mm wafer processing\, precision metrology\, integrated p hotonics\, and advanced packaging to improve quantum-device performance an d enable larger\, more manufacturable systems. Through applying materials engineering\, advanced packaging\, and next-generation optical materials i ncluding metasurfaces\, to lower error rates\, longer coherence times\, an d scaling. Applied is also exploring how its capabilities in photonics and materials engineering can support quantum sensing and communications.\n\n In this seminar\, Dr. Robert Visser\, who leads Applied Materials’ quant um technology activities\, will discuss how technologies developed to manu facture billions of highly controlled classical devices may help overcome the materials\, fabrication\, and integration barriers now limiting practi cal quantum systems.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nRobert J.
