Upcoming
Advances in Atomic Array Quantum Computing
Kristen Pudenz, Atom Computing
Wednesday, 4/30/2025, 12:00-1:00pm Pacific
Abstract: Atom Computing is creating a quantum processing platform based on nuclear spin qubits.
The system makes use of optical tweezers to assemble and individually manipulate a
two-dimensional register of atoms. We will explore progress on the Atom Computing
hardware platform, including recent results on entanglement with logical qubits, and
the potential of the technology to create scalable quantum computing solutions.
Bio: Dr. Kristen Pudenz is VP, Research Programs at Atom Computing, managing external collaborative research to accomplish shared scientific goals and internal program management. Previously she was Corporate Lead for Quantum at Lockheed Martin, setting the vision and advocating for quantum programs across the corporation. Kristen received her electrical engineering Ph.D. from the University of Southern California, where she pioneered Quantum Annealing Correction, a novel and highly practical error correction technique.
