Edwards Vacuum will be providing a training on Ultra-high Vacuum (UHV) best practices, including best known methods on pump configuration, bake-out, etc. The goal is to help align UHV best practices department wide to reduce experiment set-up time and re-work. This could also apply to those that do not use UHV today, but may like to take advantage of broadening their UHV knowledge for the future.
Abstract: Fault-tolerant quantum computation requires further advances in lowering physical qubit error rates in scalable architectures. In this talk, I will present our work on superconducting quantum devices to reduce error rates and resource overheads in processors. I will discuss how defects and interfaces in silicon limit superconducting qubit performance. I will present our discovery of interface piezoelectricity at a superconductor-silicon junction and the impact of this effect on superconducting qubits.
Abstract: Engineered quantum systems, encompassing artificial mesoscopic structures governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, represent a cornerstone of modern quantum science. Notable examples include superconducting circuits, ultracold trapped atoms and ions, as well as electro and optomechanical systems. These systems are not only fascinating from a fundamental physics perspective but also serve as essential building blocks for technological applications.
Please join us for a JAGS Industry Spotlight Seminar featuring Micron. A networking session with the speaker will take place at 12:30pm followed by a technical presentation about the ongoing projects.
Many-body localization (MBL) is a many-body quantum phenomenon that fails to thermalize under strong disorder. While experimental work on optical lattice systems suggests the existence of a MBL phase in 2D, there have been challenges regarding its existence in two dimensions. The main challenge of MBL in higher dimensions is an avalanche instability: rare regions of weak disorder can act as a thermal bath, which eventually thermalizes the entire system.
Abstract: Quantum processors have the potential to significantly advance our understanding of quantum systems. In particular, the programmability of digital quantum devices can enable access to highly tunable quantum dynamics and observables. The central challenge, however, is suppressing errors, making quantum error correction essential for large-scale algorithms.
Abstract: Optical tweezer arrays of laser-cooled molecules are an emerging platform for quantum science, combining the rich internal structure of molecules with the versatile microscopic control and detection capabilities of optical tweezers. In recent years, our lab has helped push the frontier of quantum control in this platform, demonstrating high-fidelity single-molecule imaging and state preparation, coherent control at both the single and two molecule level, and deterministic entanglement between individually prepared molecules.
