Quantum Computing – an Introduction
What is quantum computing? What will it’s impact be? If you have ever asked these questions, you should join us on March 29th for a Lunch and Learn with Dr. Morgan Ware of the University of Arkansas. Dr. Ware will provide a introduction for the novice into what quantum computing is, and how, by using specialized hardware and algorithms, it can solve complex problems that classical computers simply can’t solve.
This meeting will be offered hybrid – you may sign up and join us online, or at the Arkansas Research and Technology Park (ARTP). Bring your own lunch, or reserve a slice of pizza for $5 for the in-person event.

Quantum Computing – an Introduction
Biography:
Dr. Ware received his B.S. in Physics and Pure Mathematics from Florida State University in 1996 and his Ph.D. in Physics from North Carolina State University in 2002, studying thin film epitaxial growth and strain relaxation in silicon-germanium alloys. From 2002 thru 2005 he was a National Research Council Fellow at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. There, in the Electronic Materials Branch, he worked on semiconductor quantum dots for quantum computing and quantum information applications where he helped to demonstrate the first gate controlled coupling between two individual self-assembled quantum dots.
Late in 2005 he came to the University of Arkansas as the Director of the GK-12 Graduate Fellowship program, funded jointly by the University and the National Science Foundation engaging graduate students with middle school science teachers. He maintained active research in both semiconductor quantum dots and the wide bandgap material, gallium nitride as a Research Associate in the MRSEC (Materials Research Science and Engineering Center) and subsequently the Institute for Nanoscience and Engineering at the University of Arkansas.
In 2011 Dr. Ware became an Adjunct Faculty member of the Microelectronics and Photonics graduate program at the University of Arkansas and has helped advise several M.S. and Ph.D. students since then. Beginning in 2016, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering as Assistant Professor and was appointed the Assistant Director of the Institute for Nanoscience and Engineering. He is an active member of the Materials Research Society and the American Physical Society and is a lifelong member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society
