Mattias Fitzpatrick '13

Candidate for Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering,Princeton University

This talk will introduce the field of research known as circuit quantum electrodynamics (circuit QED), which uses superconducting circuit elements to study fundamental light-matter interactions. In addition, circuit QED systems have recently been used in the context of both quantum information and quantum simulation. After introducing the fundamentals of circuit QED, I will discuss recent progress in the field as well as the exciting new areas of research. This talk will be aimed at a general audience and will not require prior knowledge of the subject.

Monday, March 9^th
