What are the global implications of recent breakthroughs in quantum science? What are the potential roadmaps for the development of quantum technologies? Will these advances strengthen cooperation or heighten competition among nations?
This special session on “Quantum Computing and Global Affairs” will feature Mark Ritter, chair of the Physical Sciences Council at IBM. He is a member of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee, which provides independent advice to the President and Secretary of Energy on developments in quantum information science and technology, and how to maintain American leadership in this critical field.
Ritter served on the first governing board of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C). He was the recipient of the 1982 American Physical Society Apker Award for his work on the optical and magnetic properties of solids. Ritter received M.S., M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Physics from Yale University.
The talk will be moderated by Steven Girvin, Yale’s Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and Applied Physics and Member of the Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage, Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Yale Quantum Week (April 8-14) showcases more than 20 events across campus dedicated to interdisciplinary challenges in quantum science. This event is co-sponsored by the Jackson Institute’s Schmidt Program, the Yale Quantum Institute, and the Kimball Smith Series.
