In my talk I will briefly walk you through my career development from my native country Croatia, via France, Denmark, Sweden and USA and I will explain what I wanted to achieve in my career: why and how I made the decisions that I did, and how those have served me. I will select a few main learnings that can be used as advice for everyone. I will use the example of my current job as the Chief Science Officer, Chief Partnerships Officer and Senior Executive Advisor to the Provost to explain how I work in the context of my union (EU), country (Denmark), in the context of my University (Technical University of Denmark) and the context of my research center (Center for Biosustainability), and how hopefully it all comes together to benefit the world.

Today’s most advanced ion trap quantum computers have at most one qubit per ion, each defined within the ground state manifold. Additional non-qubit ions provide sympathetic cooling to keep the computational ions cold enough to perform many rounds of high-fidelity coherent operations. Typically, the two subsets of ions must be different species to prevent cooling light from disturbing the computation. To bypass this added system complexity, we can instead promote our computational ions to a long-lived excited state that is isolated from the ground-state cooling transitions. This promotion also enables new features including erasure conversion and projective state preparation and cooling. We will discuss two recent efforts to develop this architecture: entangling gates between metastable qubits and mid-circuit sympathetic cooling and readout of a metastable ion by a ground-state ion. Finally, we will take advantage of the larger metastable manifold to explore high-fidelity qudit control.

Title: Topological regularity of Busemann spaces, Professor Tadashi Fujioka, Kyoto University
Abstract:
We discuss the topological regularity theorem for Busemann spaces of nonpositive curvature, while reviewing the corresponding results for Alexandrov spaces and CAT spaces. All of these are metric spaces with upper or lower curvature bounds in some synthetic senses, and we address the question of when such spaces are topological manifolds. This is joint work with Shijie Gu (Northeastern University, China). Preprint available at arXiv:2504.14455.
