At Q-SEnSE (Quantum Systems through Entangled Science and Engineering), multidisciplinary teams from institutions in the U.S and around the world are collaborating to investigate promising solutions to formidable quantum challenges of both fundamental and practical significance.
In the video below, Cindy Regal (CU Boulder Physics, CUbit Quantum Initiative, JILA) discusses how Q-SEnSE is working with students and postdocs to come up with ever-evolving ways to simplify scientific thinking—such as the specialized vacuum apparatus her team created, where a single atom can be held in a pair of optical tweezers and live for much longer times than is usually possible in such systems.
