Engineering High Performance Qubits in Superconducting Circuits
Speaker: Xanthe Croot
Affiliation: The University of Sydney
Abstract
Superconducting circuits are a promising platform for quantum computing. With long coherence times, strong light-matter interactions on-chip, circuit design flexibility and relative ease of fabrication, superconducting qubits have enabled some of the most advanced demonstrations of quantum computing to date. Despite advances in qubit performance, qubit error rates are still too high to realise large-scale quantum computing with realistic hardware overheads. In this talk, I will discuss work on the development of high performance qubits via two complementary approaches: first, the development of new geometries, materials and processing techniques, and second, new qubit encodings engineered with quantum error correction protocols in mind.
