Superconducting Qubits are very scalable! so…..

We could use them to build a: Quantum Computer

With a quantum computer, you can:

  • Run much faster simulations
  • Crack tough codes in real time
  • Impress people at parties

Quantum Computation is known to be an exponential speed increase over classical computation!

Qubit?!?

Qubit (kyü-bit) Qubit = Quantum bit

  • A classical computer bit has two states:
  • n or off
  • A qubit is governed by

Quantum Mechanics – A qubit can be in a

  • f two states

The Quantum World

  • Superposition means many places at
  • nce…. and then we measure it…

What Superposition Can Do For You!

…Where is the state you’re in

  • In a Classical bit, A and B can only be 0 or 1
  • In a Quantum Bit, The only governing rule is:

Where is the probability of your bit measuring in the state And is the probability of measuring your bit in the state

Controlling Our Qubit!

Problems arise when sending electric pulses from room temperature transmission lines to virtually no impedance superconducting lines!

Our Solution…

High Frequency Low Frequency Ground

My Role:

  • Fabrication and Analysis of

microwave components

  • Experimental setup and analysis

using Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator (ADR)

  • Understanding and Application of

Theory
