With the growing effort to develop large-scale superconducting quantum computers, researchers worldwide set up new labs at an increasing pace to scale up towards practical quantum computers. This development calls for instruments that give access to established methods for qubit control and measurement with as little overhead as possible in the engineering effort.
Prof. Stefan Filipp (TU Munich and Walther-Meissner Institute) will cover the basics of superconducting quantum computing and highlight recent advances in using optimal control methods to maximize qubit gate fidelity. You will learn how to design and operate a qubit control setup working directly at microwave frequencies without IQ mixer calibration, using a simple Python interface to control the measurement instruments. Dr. Bruno Küng from Zurich Instruments will give you an overview of this system and set the stage for the hands-on demonstration on a real qubit led by TU Munich PhD student Max Werninghaus working at the Walther-Meissner Institute.
