    Extensible Technology for a Medium-Scale Superconducting Quantum Processor

    Summary

     

    Superconducting quantum bits, or qubits, use circuits made from superconducting materials to harness quantum mechanical states. These devices contain many atoms, but can behave as simple, controllable qubits. We are building technologies for the control and measurement of superconducting qubits to enable the first demonstration of an extensible, medium-scale quantum processor. Our approach includes the development of multilayer architectures where qubit and wiring circuitry are fabricated on different chips that are bonded together by means of thermocompression bonding technologies. This will make it possible to address qubits on a two-dimensional lattice on the order of 100 qubits. Implementing a two-dimensional array of superconducting qubits will allow for the realization of quantum-error correction, a critical step on the way to a fully scalable architecture. Through this work we also hope to study the loss mechanisms that limit the coherence time of superconducting qubits.

    Topological Properties of Exciton-Polaritons in a Kagome Lattice as a Solid-state Quantum Simulator

    Summary   In this project, we build a solid-state quantum simulator for engineering a specific Hamiltonian. Quantum simulators are purpose-built devices with little to no need for error correction, thereby making this type of hardware less demanding than universal quantum computers. Our platform consists of exciton-polariton condensates in multiple quantum-wells sandwiched in a semiconductor Bragg […]

    Quantum Dynamics of Cavity Interactions with Spin Ensembles

    Summary   High quality factor cavities can be powerful control elements for ensembles of spins, enabling unitary control as well as on demand cooling. They can also be used to couple two otherwise non-interacting ensembles. The goal of the project is to explore the physics and engineering of such systems both theoretically and experimentally. The laboratory contains a […]

    Zero-Dimensional Quantum Materials for the Next Generation of Highly-Selective Chemical Sensors

    Summary   Heavy metals are a major public health concern and their on-site detection in water supplies is not well served by existing lab techniques. We develop a new multi-modal platform comprising functionalized quantum dots of two-dimensional materials (2D-QDs) for the sensing of four highly-toxic heavy metal pollutants (arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury). The zero-dimensional […]
