The Ivan Deutsch group at CQuIC received a welcome surprise with the publication of an interview with Dr. Deutsch in “Quanta Magazine“. The Deutsch group’s research has focused on the control of a 16-dimensional quantum system, or “qudit” in the quantum information parlance. This system offers the opportunity to study robust quantum control techniques (where errors introduced in the control protocols do not introduce too many errors into the behavior of the system), as well as the opportunity to examine novel quantum effects.
