Title:\nComputational Quantum Design: Spotlight on Quantum Science and Tech
 nology\n\nAbstract:\nQuantum science and technology hold the potential to 
 deliver transformative innovations in computing, ultra-precision measuring
  devices, and secure communication. In this talk, I will showcase a synerg
 istic development of predictive computation-driven strategies to guide the
  development of quantum technologies.\nFirst, I will discuss the developme
 nt of a full-stack multiscale computational quantum electrodynamics framew
 ork to design hybrid quantum devices. I will show the applicability of the
  computational design guidelines to develop superconducting single-photon 
 detectors and gate circuits for solid-state quantum computing architecture
 s.\nSecond, I will discuss the development of a quantum material theory ef
 forts coupled with scientific software development for designing photonic 
 materials for classical and quantum communication infrastructure. I will s
 how how this photonic material design framework has led to the development
  of spectro-polarimetric imagers to capture hidden polarization data, spin
 -polarized infrared beacons for defense technology, and deep ultra-violet 
 radiation sources for semiconductor metrology.\nLooking ahead, I will disc
 uss how this computational quantum design framework establishes a roadmap 
 for advancing quantum computing, sensing, and communication.\n\n\n\nImage\

 tment, WPI\n\nBio:\nSathwik Bharadwaj is an Assistant Professor of Physics
  at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester, Massachusetts. Pri
 or to joining WPI, he was a Research Scientist in the Elmore Family School
  of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Birck Nanotechnology Cente
 r at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. He earned his M.S. and Ph
 .D. in Physics from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and his M.Sc. in Physi
 cs from the University of Hyderabad, India. His research focuses on develo
 ping predictive computational and theoretical frameworks for the design of
  emerging photonic materials and hybrid quantum devices, with applications
  in quantum sensing, communication, and computing. He has received several
  accolades for his research, including the Japan Computational Mathematica
 l Science and Engineering Lecture Award, the Sigma Xi Dissertation Award a
 t WPI, and the Bravo+ Award from Purdue University.\n\nHost: Professor Ale
