DESCRIPTION:Trapped ions—charged atoms suspended using electric fields
 —are among the most promising systems for exploring the strange world of
  quantum physics.\n\nIn October’s Balliol Online Lecture Dr Srinivas wil
 l introduce how trapped ion experiments work and why they’re such a powe
 rful platform for both fundamental research and emerging technologies. He 
 will then delve into three areas of his research. First\, explaining how q
 uantum entanglement is used to enhance the precision of atomic clocks. Nex
 t\, exploring how the spring-like motion of ions can create exotic\, noncl
 assical states of matter that behave in ways we never encounter in everyda
 y life. Finally\, he will discuss his work in quantum computing at Oxford 
 Ionics—a spinout from the University of Oxford—where they're working t
 owards a practical quantum computer using ion-trap technology.\n\nDr Ragha
 vendra Srinivas is a research fellow in the Department of Physics and Earl
 y Career Fellow in Physics at Balliol College\, and also works part-time f
 or Oxford Ionics.\n\nHis research focuses on using trapped ions for quantu
 m information processing\, quantum sensing and fundamental quantum optics.
 \n\nDr Srinivas was awarded Optica’s 2024 Theodor W Hänsch Prize in Qua
 ntum Optics\, which recognizes impactful early career researchers working 
 on optics-enabled quantum technologies.\nSpeakers:\nDr Raghavendra Sriniva
