Research Summary

Erika Kawakami (Ph.D.)

Our team is working on the application of electrons floating on liquid helium to quantum information. This physical system has a high potential for providing an ideal platform on which to realize a quantum computer, due to the fact that it is free of impurities and defects. We are also working on the technological development required for large-scale quantum computation.
