Abstract: In recent years, neutral atom tweezer arrays have emerged as a promising platform for quantum computing. Among various atomic species, alkaline-earth(-like) atoms—particularly ytterbium—offer unique advantages arising from their rich internal structure. In this talk, I will present progress from my PhD work, demonstrating how these features can be harnessed to build a useful quantum computer in the future.

RASEI is hosting Prof. Richard Friend, from the University of Cambridge, UK, will be presenting on Wednesday November 12, 2025 as part of the Nozik Lecture Series from 3:00 – 4:00 PM, with a poster reception with refreshments following the talk. The talk will be on the fourth floor of the CASE building on main campus.

Edwards Vacuum will be providing a training on Ultra-high Vacuum (UHV) best practices, including best known methods on pump configuration, bake-out, etc.  The goal is to help align UHV best practices department wide to reduce experiment set-up time and re-work. This could also apply to those that do not use UHV today, but may like to take advantage of broadening their UHV knowledge for the future.

Please join us for a JAGS Industry Spotlight Seminar featuring Micron. A networking session with the speaker will take place at 12:30pm followed by a technical presentation about the ongoing projects. 

Oxford Ionics develops trapped-ion quantum computers.  We are UK headquartered and opened our US office in Boulder last year.  We will present the work we do in Boulder developing our architecture and our future plans to open a lab and  grow the team here.  We will also discuss our recent acquisition by IonQ and what it means for the companies' joint roadmap.

Abstract: Social bonds live in our biology. To understand the computations that allow our brains to form social bonds, my lab studies monogamous prairie voles. Unlike laboratory mice and rats, these rodents often mate for life, parenting together and defending a shared home. We have found that social information is organized at multiple scales in the brain's reward center—from stable encoding in individual neurons to coordinated ensembles—to enable bond formation.

The Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder in collaboration with CUbit and JILA is hosting the third annual Physics and Quantum Career & Internship Fair on Friday, October 17^th from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m. in the Glenn Miller Ballroom.

This event will feature employers across all areas of theoretical, experimental, and computational physics. The fair will connect physics undergraduate and graduate students and recent alumni with laboratory and industry leaders to learn about internships and employment opportunities.
