UMNE SCI Studio: Peter Zoller on Quantum Computing, Quantum Simulation, and the Boundary between the Quantum and Classical Worlds

Peter Zoller belongs to a small circle of physicists whose theoretical work has changed the course of modern science. As a professor of theoretical physics at the University of Innsbruck and scientific director of IQOQI at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, he has shaped the development of quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum information. His 1995 paper, published with Ignacio Cirac, was the first to show that a quantum computer based on trapped ions could be realistically...
