DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Victor Albert\nhosted by Misha Lemeshko\nAbstract: The
  position states of the harmonic oscillator describe the location of a par
 ticle moving on the real line. Similarly\, the phase difference between tw
 o superconductors on either side of a Josephson junction takes values in t
 he configuration space of a particle on a circle. More generally\, many ph
 ysical systems can be described by a basis of position states\, describing
  a particle moving on a more general configuration or state space. Most of
  this space is usually ignored due to the energy cost required to pin a pa
 rticle to a precise position. However\, as our control over quantum system
 s improves\, utilizing more of this higher-energy space harbors benefits f
 or protecting quantum information and probing quantum matter. I will discu
 ss quantum applications taking advantage of state spaces associated with t
 he harmonic oscillator\, as well as molecular rotational and nuclear state
 s.
