Rochester Coherence and Quantum Science Conference
@CCQS_UofR
The Conference has been held every six years since the inception in 1960 when lasing was observed.
Jun Ye pays homage to his former postdoc advisor, Jeff Kimble @Caltech, at the Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science @UofR. We've lost some good quantum opticians recently...
🌟 Excited to speak, have played a small advisory board role, and be back here after the last one 6 years ago for the Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science (CQS-12)! CQS is special, dating back to 1960, bringing together Nobel Laureates & field pioneers #CQS2025
Final day of cqs-12 kicked off by @PedramRoushan from Google Quantum AI on simulating lattice gauge theories and condensed matter systems with Willow #cqs2025 #quantum @CCQS_UofR @UofR
Good morning from dreamy Rochester for the septennial #quantum #optics conference. Looking forward to the great lineup today and sharing recent results in my invited talk today. Come say hi! 👋
Join us today for the free public lecture by @nicoleyh11 at @UofR (7-8 PM) #CQS12

Cool to see Prof. Lukin (who I took quantum information from nearly 10 years ago!) in Hoyt, where I took many a class (including my very first college course, PHY 141, by Frank Wolfs in 2012) :)
Last day of CQS-12. After an amazing banquet at the Strong Museum of Play last night, we start the day with Pedram Roushan showing us Google’s latest results on disorder free localization in their new Willow platform. @CCQS_UofR
Misha Lukin at cqs-12: We got a preview of these very impressive new results on repeated error correction in neutral atoms, posted on the arxiv today arxiv.org/pdf/2506.20661 @CCQS_UofR @UofR #quantum #cqs2025
Chris Monroe on trapped ions for quantum computing, at the Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science: “Don’t ask me how you trap them. There’s a lot of black magic.” @UofR @IonQ_Inc @DukeU
Qubit readout in superconducting circuits is too slow when photon numbers are low. Increase the number of photons and the measurement becomes non-QND. According to Alexandre Blais the solution to this conundrum is in Floquet quasienergies. @CCQS_UofR
Misha Lukin looking ahead on the transition from physical to logical qubits through error correction. Want to see more? Keep an eye out for the recording of the talk by following @CCQS_UofR.
Juzar Thingna telling us about PRX quantum, the jewel in the crown (CQS pun intended) of the APS journal family. @CCQS_UofR
Two-qubit gates and CQS. Chris Monroe recalling the first ever experimental demonstration, 30 years ago in here in Rochester. @CCQS_UofR @UofR
Lieven Vandersypen at CQS12: electron shuttling is the future for quantum-dot based quantum computing. 🤩@CCQS_UofR @UofR
Elinor Twyeffort telling us of a puzzle introduced to her by Joe Eberly: why is it that the quantum Rabi model with an initial Fock state (very non-classical) leads to classical Rabi results, but with a coherent state (very classical) leads to very quantum revivals? @CCQS_UofR
Absolutely gorgeous talk by Klaus Mølmer on quantum trajectories at CQS-12. 🤩🤩🤩@CCQS_UofR
Beautiful tutorial talk by Klaus Mølmer reviewing quantum trajectories including illustrations he used in his talk at CQO in Rochester 30 years ago @CCQS_UofR
Welcome to everyone on campus this week for CQS-12, the Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science! #CQS2025 #IYQ2025 #URochesterResearch
Off to a great start of CQS-12 with a keynote by Donna Strickland about the quantum and coherence properties of lasers and including a tribute to Joe Eberly @CCQS_UofR @UofR
CQS-12 is kicking off! Excited for all the amazing science that will take place this week. @CCQS_UofR @MachielSBlok @UofR
Donna Strickland @NobelPrize winner, teaching us about coherence in mode-locked lasers at #CQS12
