Nobel Laureate Speaker Series: Dr. David J. Wineland
Nobel Laureate, Dr. David Wineland, will speak at Montgomery College on Friday, April 19, 2024, from 9:30 – 11:00 am.
During his presentation entitled, “Quantum Computers and Raising Schrodinger’s Cat,” Dr. Wineland will explain “superposition states,” “qubits” and experiments whose goal is to realize a quantum computer based on laser manipulations of atomic ions.
While Dr. Wineland was the co-recipient of the 2012 Nobel prize in Physics for his “ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems” this talk is intended for a general audience. The event is free, open to the public and will take place in Globe Hall in the High Technology and Science Center on the Germantown Campus.
Dr. Wineland is currently a Philip H. Knight Distinguished Research Chair and Research Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Oregon in Eugene, OR.
Come and be inspired by one who has been recognized for providing “the greatest benefit to humankind.”
