Yaakov S. Weinstein, MITRE
Nielsen Physics Bldg., Room 307
Monday, February 10
Talk: 11 – 12
Pizza: 12 – 1
At MITRE we research, explore, and analyze all aspects of quantum information science so as to solve problems for a safer world. In this talk I will discuss cluster state quantum computation and specifically how to build its most basic fault-tolerant component, a tree cluster. In addition, I will present some experimental work on cracking supposedly secure quantum key distribution systems.
Dr. Yaakov S. Weinstein is the leader of the MITRE Physical Sciences, Nanosystems, and Quantum (PSN&Q) Group. Dr. Weinstein received his Ph.D. in Nuclear Sciences and Engineering in 2003 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and did post-doctoral research at the Naval Research Laboratory. Dr. Weinstein joined MITRE in May of 2005, became Group Leader of the Quantum Information Science (QIS) Group in 2014, and Group Leader of the expanded PSN&Q Group in late 2017. Also in 2014, Dr. Weinstein was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Springer journal Quantum Information Processing.
