SUMMARY:Dynamical decoupling techniques for coherent quantum control: Recen
	t developments
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Lorenza Viola\, Darmouth College\nHosted by: Raj Moha
	nty\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:
	 The design of schemes for coherently manipulating quantum dynamics is cent
	ral to quantum control theory as well as to a variety of applications in qu
	antum information science\, including decoherence suppression strategies an
	d quantum simulation protocols.  After reviewing the basic principles under
	lying dynamical decoupling techniques\, I will illustrate how the latter pr
	ovide a useful control-theoretic framework for the manipulation of both clo
	sed- and open-system evolutions\, and highlight current developments in the
	 field.  In particular\, I will compare recently developed randomized decou
	pling methods [1\,2] with conventional deterministic schemes\, and discuss 
	the application of dynamical decoupling to controlling electron spin cohere
	nce in quantum dots [3].\n\n[1] L. Viola and E. Knill\, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94
