Title: Control of emitters and memories for quantum networks

Speaker: Sophia Economou

Abstract: Quantum control is a crucial element of any quantum technology. For quantum computing, quantum gates of high fidelity are required in order to achieve quantum error correction and scalability. For quantum networks, local nodes typically contain both matter-based quantum memories and quantum emitters. Both types of systems need to be controlled individually, and so do their interactions. This talk will discuss the need for and required levels of control in quantum networks. There will be a focus on optically active spin qubits such as diamond and silicon carbide defects, which are currently under intensive development as building blocks of quantum networks.
