Explore quantum information experiments with trapped ions in this Nobel Laureate lecture by Dr. David Wineland at the APS April Meeting 2013. Delve into the concepts of superposition, entanglement, and Schrödinger's Cat as Wineland traces the evolution of quantum experiments from Erwin Schrödinger's thought experiment to Hans Dehmelt's trapped electrons and ions. Learn about single electron experiments, the isolation of individual ions, and the groundbreaking single Hg ion experiments at NIST in 1981. Discover the principles of quantized motion, cooling to the ground state, and the application of single ions in optical clocks. Explore the realm of quantum information processing, including quantum logic gates and their potential applications. Gain insights into cutting-edge physics research from the laboratory to cosmic scales in this Kavli Keynote Session on the frontiers of physics.
