Dr Quijandria: Quantum error correction with dissipatively stabilized squeezed cat qubits

Thursday, February 16, 2023 - 10:00
Meeting Room C016 Lab 1

Quantum computers can use many forms of quantum systems to encode and process quantum information. There has been a lot of interest recently on using modes of light to encode quantum information but this brings with it some questions about how to encode quantum information into an infinite dimensional Hilbert space which is robust against errors. This talk will show how this can be achieved.

Inclusive Leadership Symposium 2023

Wednesday, February 1, 2023 - 10:00 to Thursday, February 2, 2023 - 16:00
Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Auditorium and Conference Center.

In the face of ongoing change across our world, societies, and organizations, Inclusive Leadership is critical for creating conditions and climates that enhance adaptability, empowerment and collaboration, and a strong sense of community and belonging. This year’s symposium brings us together to explore how the qualities of inclusive leadership can be engendered at multiple levels across our institutions.

We invite participants from Japan and across the world to engage in discussions, inquiry, and strategic thinking to explore how to: develop institutional cultures where every individual can thrive and their contributions are valued; instill ownership amongst leaders at all levels to actively foster inclusion and equity; empower those who identify as people from minoritized and underrepresented backgrounds to realize their full leadership potential.
