Wisconsin Quantum Institute Colloquium Series: John Martinis, Qolab
- When:
- Thursday, September 19, 2024 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm
- Where:
- DeLuca Forum, 330 N Orchard St, Madison, WI 53715
- Title:
- Quantum systems engineering
- Description:
-
Quantum computing has entered a compelling scientific era as now quantum algorithms can be run on multiple physical systems. Building even larger machines with error correction is a significant engineering challenge that will require good systems engineering practices. Here I discuss some scientific and technical strategies and ideas that will be important to consider when transitioning from scientific research to development of a complex engineered system. Also considered will be constraints specific to quantum computers, for example the inability to copy information and the need for complex control systems.
This event starts at 3:30pm with refreshments, followed at 3:45pm by a short presentation titled "Fluctuations of Qubit Energy-Relaxation Times: Characterization and Suppression", by Spencer Weeden (McDermott group). The invited presentation starts at 4pm.
