Summary
In this project, we develop novel superconducting qubits for error-corrected processors to enable large-scale quantum computing. Our design efforts will specifically target error-corrected architectures through a variety of paths. Possible features will include built-in parity measurements and the use of bosonic codes, such as Fock state and Cat codes, as our starting focus. Early on, we will fabricate “generation one” devices and conduct spectroscopic measurements and time-domain measurements on single qubits. Later, we will evaluate two-qubit gates and then move forward with a multi-qubit, error-corrected processor, with comprehensive error diagnostic and error suppression methods to optimize performance. The final goal is the experimental realization of a 50-qubit processor with error correction to demonstrate a practical superconducting architecture.

Metasurfaces for high-efficiency parametric downconversion and complex quantum state generation
Summary Entangled photon sources are crucial for quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communication. Of growing importance are sources relying on spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). Unfortunately, these sources of entangled photons are often constrained by momentum conservation laws. To overcome this limitation and expand the possibility of quantum state engineering, we intend to use metasurfaces […]

Spin Generation and High-Frequency Detection via the Quantum Nonlinear Anomalous Hall Effect in Weyl Semimetals
In magnetic conductors, the passage of current yields an electric field in the transverse direction even without an external magnetic field – this is known as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE). This effect can act as a convenient probe of spin ordering, magnetic textures, spin-orbit coupling, and band topology in solids, and can be further […]

Building Blocks for Quantum Neuromorphic Computing: Superconducting Quantum Memcapacitors
Quantum neuromorphic computing (QNC) is a novel method that combines quantum computing with brain-inspired neuromorphic computing. Neuromorphic computing performs computations using a complex ensemble of artificial neurons and synapses (i.e., electrical circuits) to emulate the human brain. QNC may lead to a quantum advantage by realizing these components with quantum memory elements, or memelements, which […]
