About the Speaker
Jonathan Home has been a Professor at the ETH Zürich since 2010, obtaining tenure in 2017. His group focuses on the precision control of trapped atomic ions, focusing on quantum error correction and dissipation, as well as the exploration of novel methods for scaling. Successes of this research have included the first demonstrations of GKP logical qubits and subsequently error correction, repeated rounds of stabilizer measurements with feedback, the first demonstration of two-qubit ion trap gates using chip-delivered integrated optics chips, and a new platform for quantum computing based on microfabricated Penning traps. Jonathan’s work has been recognized by numerous awards, including the Landauer-Bennett award of the APS and the Latsis Prize of ETH Zürich. He is also a Fellow of the APS. Jonathan plays an active role in outreach, and has realized the first museum exhibit worldwide in which visitors can see atoms with the naked eye. He is a TED Fellow and has given talks at both TED and the World Economic Forum.
