Molecules and Mechanisms for Quantum Information Processing

Controllable quantum systems are under active investigation for quantum computing, secure information processing, non-volatile memory, and quantum sensing. Within the context of quantum information science, quantum computing, communications and sensors all rely on the fundamental unit of a qubit which possesses at least two well-defined quantum states that can be prepared and addressed independently. Superposition and entanglement of qubit states can lead to complex gates for quantum operations, making the control of entanglement particularly interesting. Solid state qubit platforms with long decoherence times have been integrated into quantum computing technologies and current quantum sensors,. The challenges however of precise control over position and entanglement in these systems suggest that chemical approaches to qubit design may have distinct advantages. The ability to address, interrogate, and read out the properties of an individual molecular qubit in isolation and subsequently within an array through spectroscopy and molecular design allows for fundamental insight into the quantum properties necessary for the implementation of molecular-based qubits in quantum information applications.

We wish to ensure an intimate workshop setting, with no more than 20 to 25 participants. If you are interested in attending but have not received an invitation, please contact the workshop organizer before registering.

Sessions typically run mornings and late afternoons, leaving mid-day free for informal collaboration.

Travel to Telluride can be expensive; please assess your own potential travel costs before registering.

Please book your travel plans! The Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is the most reliable and convenient airport for Telluride.

Telluride Science can provide lodging starting as low as $215/night during off-peak weeks and as low as $250/night during peak-season at the Mountainside Inn. These affordable lodging options are limited and available first-come, first-serve. To encourage participants to secure affordable lodging, we offer a $100 discount on lodging provided through Telluride Science that is secured before the Early Bird deadline. Additionally, we work with many lodging providers in Telluride and Mountain Village to offer discounts between 10-15% off your total lodging balance. Additional information provided with registration.

If you have more questions about lodging, reach out to Sara at sara@telluridescience.org.

Registrations may be refunded less a $25 cancellation fee. If cancelled before the lodging cancellation deadline, lodging payments are refundable less a $100 cancellation fee. It is each participant's responsibility to confirm and understand their own lodging cancellation deadline. Travel insurance is highly recommended.
