Explore the fascinating world of superpositions of coherent states in quantum computing through this 36-minute conference talk presented by Barry Sanders from the University of Calgary. Delve into the potted history of coherent states and their applications in quantum computing, communication, sensing, and metrology. Discover how these minimum uncertainty states, which transiently follow classical motion, constitute codes for quantum computing and enhance various quantum technologies. Learn about the creation of nuclear cat states on nuclear qudits, and gain insights into the advantages of using coherent states in quantum systems. This talk, part of the QuDits for Quantum Technology workshop hosted by the Quantum Interactions Theory Group at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, offers a comprehensive overview of the field and its potential implications for future quantum technologies.
