SUMMARY:Engineering a Quantum Information Processor\, Special Atomic P
 hysics Seminar\, Professor Jungsang Kim\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Fundamental advantage of utilizing quantum resources for c
 omputation and communication has been discovered in the last two decad
 es. Experimental demonstration of representing and manipulating quantu
 m bits in physical systems and simple quantum algorithms followed. Whi
 le the experimental research in this field has progressed at a rapid p
 ace\, the notion of a practical information processor based on quantum
  physics still faces tremendous amount of challenges. Construction of 
 a scalable quantum information processor is a system design challenge 
 that requires cutting-edge technology guided by engineering principles
 . The task requires expertise in quantum physics\, computer architectu
 res and integrated microsystems technology\, and lots of exciting rese
 arch is still to be done. In this talk\, I will discuss the multidisci
 plinary challenge of designing a quantum information processor\, and s
 ome of the technology progress made to date. I will present micro elec
 tromechanical systems (MEMS) technology applied to creating a beam con
 trol system that can address quantum bits represented by atoms trapped
  in a ultra-high vacuum chamber.
