Abstract

We report the experimental realization of a hybrid quantum circuit combining a superconducting qubit and an ensemble of electronic spins.

The qubit, of the transmon type, is coherently coupled to the spin ensemble consisting of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in a diamond crystal via a frequency-tunable superconducting resonator acting as a quantum bus[1,2].

Abstract:

A striking aspect of the quantum world is the exponentiallity of its
underlying Hilbert space. To describe a general state of n quantum
particles, exp(O(n)) numbers are needed, whereas only O(n) numbers
are needed in the classical case.

A Q+ hangout is a broadcast seminar using the hangout feature of Google+. Title: Seeing is Believing: Direct Observation of the Wavefunction.

A Q+ hangout is a broadcast seminar using the hangout feature of Google+. Participation is limited at the moment. IQC was given one of the available slots. To take part in the hangout, join us in RAC1 3004 on Tuesday March 27th at 9am.

Abstract

The time dependent Dirac-Frenkel-Mclachlan-Heller variation of parameters (DFMH method) is used to model two NMR problems that do not have analytical solutions, diffusion in a quadratic field gradient and radiation damping in an inhomogeneous field. Initial results related to the treatment of chemical exchange treated as a distribution and the application of the DFMH method to pulsed RF Gradients will be mentioned.
