Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms Part 2

Mark Saffman University of Wisconsin, Madison

Neutral atom qubits are one of the most promising approaches for implementing quantum information processing. All of the DiVincenzo criteria have been fulfilled, and multi-qubit experiments demonstrating scalability are being actively pursued by several research groups.

Open House & Doors Open Waterloo Region 2010

Explore the laboratories where the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researchers are harnessing the strange laws of quantum mechanics to build computers of unprecedented power.

Overview

The quantum information revolution is under way, and you're invited to the Institute for Quantum Computing on Saturday, Sept. 18, for a rare opportunity to explore the science that is making it happen.

Adrian Lupascu: Quantum superconducting circuits

Adrian Lupascu, Institute for Quantum Computing

Quantum superconducting circuits are nanostructured superconducting electrical networks with Josephson junctions. At low temperatures, their quantum dynamics is properly described by using a few degrees of freedom with a collective character. The parameters in the Hamiltonian depend on the dimensions and topology of the circuit; superconducting quantum circuits therefore behave as artificial atoms.

Nathan Wiebe: Quantum Computer Simulations of Time Dependent Hamiltonians

Nathan Wiebe, University of Calgary

We introduce an efficient quantum algorithm for simulating time-dependent Hamiltonian quantum dynamics on a quantum computer and accounts fully for all computational resources, especially the per-qubit oracle query cost, which has been previously regarded as constant cost per query regardless of the number of qubits accessed.
