What we’re about
Group Purpose
Colorado Quantum is here to help build a community that includes quantum computing innovators and people who use or plan to use the technology. Our mission is to bring education and understanding about quantum hardware and software to people who want to work in the field and to early adaptors who want to use the technology, to help them evaluate when and how they can incorporate it into their workflow.
Our topics include the science and technology of quantum computing. We also discuss use-cases, state of the quantum ecosystem, when will quantum computers offer value.
Colorado Quantum brings quantum computing innovators together with technology adopters to build an economically thriving community.
What we do
Meet regularly to provide social, networking, and education. When possible, we have scheduled presentations, otherwise we still meet to have an informal gathering.
Who should attend
You! If you are interested in:
- quantum research
- quantum computer development (hardware/software)
- quantum application to business
- networking in the quantum computing community

See all- Coherent control of motional quanta for a 3-qubit encoding in neutral 171YbQuantum Incubator, Boulder, CO
In this presentation you will see an architecture for encoding three qubits within the optical "clock" transition, nuclear spin, and motional degrees of freedom of ytterbium-171 atoms in optical tweezers. This architecture extends the two-qubit "ququart" encoding from previous work to give greater hardware efficiency for the purposes of quantum computation and simulation. We present a set of native implementations of several one-, two-, and three-qubit gates that can be performed within the "quoct" space of a single atom, three- and four-qubit Rydberg gates between atoms, and a state measurement protocol leveraging coherent control of motional quanta both inside and outside the computational basis. We demonstrate the advantages of this encoding with an implementation of a quantum chromodynamics simulation in 1+1D for a single flavor of quark in the axial gauge.
