- Wisconsin Quantum Institute
- Quantum Coffee Hour
- Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
- Place: Rm.5294, Chamberlin Hall
- Abstract: Please join us for the WQI Quantum Coffee today at 3PM in the Physics Faculty Lounge (Rm.5294 in Chamberlin Hall). This series, which takes place approximately every other Tuesday, aims to foster a casual and collaborative atmosphere where faculty, post-docs, students, and anyone with an interest in quantum information sciences can come together. There will be coffee and treats.

- Time: 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm
- Place: Bascom Hall in front of Birge Hall
- Speaker: Everyone is welcome
- Abstract: If the weather is nice, we'll meet on Bascom Hill (in front of Birge Hall). Feel free to bring your lunch. We will borrow cornhole and ladder toss from the L&S Dean's Office and play outside for 30 minutes. Some of us will probably walk up together, meeting in the courtyard between Chamberlin and Sterling ~12:25. Feel free to walk with us! No need to sign up. Just come join us!

- R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar
- Quantum Resource Estimations for future quantum hardware
- Time: 10:00 am
- Place: 5310 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Katerina Gratsea, UW-Madison
- Abstract: Recent experimental demonstrations of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) primitives indicate that the quantum computing field is transitioning from the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era to the FTQC era. Achieving FTQC is a highly complex challenge, involving multiple computational layers with various design choices at each level. To better understand this transition and the capabilities of future quantum hardware, Quantum Resource Estimations (QRE) serve as an essential tool. QRE can provide insights
into how advancements at different layers impact the overall computational runtime.
In this talk, I will explore the role of early FTQC as an intermediate regime between NISQ and FTQC through the lens of QRE. I will also present ongoing work that highlights runtime estimates for future quantum hardware and demonstrates how QRE plays a crucial
role in guiding research and development efforts toward realizing practical quantum computers. - Host: Matt Otten
