What does the world look like on the smallest scales? In this Midday Science Cafe, you’ll hear from two scientists conducting experiments in the quantum world to quickly tackle problems on a real-world scale — problems that would otherwise take centuries to solve! We’ll hear from Dr. Sara Mouradian who will introduce what makes the quantum world different from the world we live in and how researchers build quantum technologies by trapping atoms and controlling them with lasers. Dr. Kasra Nowrouzi will discuss the approach at the Advanced Quantum Testbed at Berkeley Lab, where researchers design and build quantum computer systems to function in environments colder than outer space.
