This enables the construction of algorithms that are exponentially faster than the best know current algorithms.\u0026nbsp; These provable quantum speedups are currently\u0026nbsp;beyond our reach due to the limitations of available quantum processors. I will give an overview of the state of the field and the challenges of scaling the hardware. I will discuss our recent work on quantum error correction and how this points towards the value of co-designing the hardware architecture and the applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKenneth Brown is an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, chemistry, and physics at Duke University. From 2007-2017, he was a faculty member in the Schools of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Computational Science and Engineering, and Physics at Georgia Tech. In 2018, he was\u0026nbsp;elected a fellow of the American Physical Society and has previously served as the chair of the Division of Quantum Information. He currently directs the Software Tailored Architecture for Quantum co-design (STAQ) project funded by the National Science Foundation to construct a programmable, fully-connected quantum computer.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Constructing a Quantum Computer"}],"uid":"34541","created_gmt":"2018-12-05 16:04:08","changed_gmt":"2018-12-05 18:38:53","author":"Tess Malone","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-12-10T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-12-10T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-12-10T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-12-10 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-12-10 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-12-10 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"615022":{"id":"615022","type":"image","title":"Ken Brown","body":null,"created":"1544035118","gmt_created":"2018-12-05 18:38:38","changed":"1544035118","gmt_changed":"2018-12-05 18:38:38","alt":"Ken Brown","file":{"fid":"234187","name":"Unknown-3.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Unknown-3.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Unknown-3.png","mime":"image\/png","size":69354,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Unknown-3.png?itok=TX9Ez9Zm"}}},"media_ids":["615022"],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"576491","name":"CRNCH"},{"id":"50877","name":"School of Computational Science and Engineering"},{"id":"50875","name":"School of Computer Science"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
