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.

\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.
