SUMMARY:Dissipative generation of entanglement\, Condensed Matter Theo
 ry Group Seminar\, Mark Saffman
DESCRIPTION:Advances in measurement and control of quantum systems tha
 t have been achieved over the last several decades were recognized wit
 h the Nobel prize this year.  For the non-specialist I'll give a brief
  overview of what has been done\, how they did it\, and why many peopl
 e consider this important.  I will then present some of our current re
 search\, which combines coherent and dissipative dynamics to forge a p
 owerful mechanism for generating entanglement. Detailed calculations w
 ith Rydberg atoms predict strong entanglement at distance scales that 
 greatly exceed what can be achieved with coherent dynamics alone. Appl
 ications to finding ground states of many-body spin Hamiltonians will 
 also be mentioned.
