| Details: | Join us for an engaging keynote presentation with Dr. Dean Lee, professor of physics at Michigan State University and head of Theoretical Nuclear Science at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). A distinguished theoretical nuclear physicist, Dr. Lee has been recognized for excellence in both research and teaching, and in 2014 was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society for his groundbreaking work developing lattice effective field theory, a powerful computational method for studying the properties of atomic nuclei. Quantum Physics and Quantum Computing Most of what we know about the world comes from classical physics, based on the large objects we see and interact with every day. Yet, at its core, the universe follows the fascinating and often counterintuitive rules of quantum physics. In this talk, Dr. Lee will explore the surprising properties of quantum systems and share how scientists at FRIB investigate them in the laboratory. He will also discuss how the strange and powerful behaviors of quantum physics can be harnessed to build quantum computers, machines with the potential to far surpass the capabilities of today’s most advanced computers. Lecture 3-5 p.m. in the CMU Library Auditorium followed by a reception and poster presentation in Biosciences 1010. |
