SUMMARY:Quantum Networking at AFRL\, Wisconsin Quantum Institute\, Dr.
  Kathy-Anne Soderberg \, Air Force Research Lab  (AFRL)
DESCRIPTION:Effective and efficient ways to connect disparate qubit te
 chnologies is an outstanding challenge in quantum information science.
   However\, the ability to interface different qubit modalities will h
 ave far-reaching implications for quantum computing and quantum networ
 king.  Here we present plans and progress toward developing a distribu
 ted quantum networking testbed to distribute entanglement between trap
 ped ion\, superconducting\, and integrated photonic qubits.  We will a
 lso discuss student internship and visiting researcher opportunities a
 nd different pathways to connect  with the Air Force Research Laborato
 ry.<br>

\nBio: Dr. Kathy-Anne Brickman Soderberg is a Principa
 l Research Scientist at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Infor
 mation Directorate in Rome\, NY.  Dr. Soderberg is the primary investi
 gator and team lead for AFRL’s Trapped-Ion Quantum Networking group.
   Dr. Soderberg received a B.S. in physics from the College of William
  and Mary\, a M.S. and Ph.D. in physics from the University of Michiga
 n\, and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Chicago.  D
 r. Soderberg has over fifteen years of technical experience in atomic 
 physics and quantum information processing.  Her graduate work focused
  on trapped-ion quantum computing research and included key demonstrat
 ions of phonon-mediated entangling gates and proof-of-principle quantu
 m algorithms (the Grover search algorithm).  Her postdoctoral work foc
 used on novel neutral-atom quantum computing and the difficulties asso
 ciated with targeted atomic interactions and optical lattice translati
 on and control.  Before joining AFRL\, Dr. Soderberg was a technical c
 onsultant for quantum information science.<br>
