IQIM Postdoctoral and Graduate Student Seminar

Note: This IQIM seminar will be held in Linde Hall 310 (the Math building)

Abstract: Optical spin-photon interfaces are essential for distributed quantum computing. I will describe our recent demonstration of a molecular qubit with single-molecule addressability, stable narrow optical transitions, and millisecond spin coherence, establishing molecular systems as a promising platform for scalable quantum networking.
I will then present a distributed quantum computing architecture that eliminates the need for entanglement distillation by exploiting biased photonic errors. This approach enables fault-tolerant error correction with only one data qubit per node, substantially relaxes photonic hardware requirements, and achieves high error-correction thresholds.
The talk is based on the following papers:
[1] Yotam Vaknin, Shoham Jaocby, Roi Nevo, Aleksander Kubica, Alex Retzker, Fault-tolerant distributed quantum computing with a single nucleus per node. arXiv:2607.24907
[2] Roggors et. al., A Single-Molecule Spin-Photon Interface, arXiv:2605.10077.

Lunch will be provided following the talk. Meet on the lawn north of the Linde and Bridge buildings.
