The Power of Parametric Effects in Engineered Quantum Systems

Colloquium speaker: Anja Metelmann, Free University Berlin

Parametric couplings offers the exciting possibility to manipulate and control interactions between engineered quantum systems. Such systems are artificial mesoscopic systems whose dynamics are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Prominent examples of these mesoscopic systems are ultracold trapped atoms and ions, superconducting circuits and electro/optomechanical systems.

Fireside Chat with Alan Jamison

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

Alan Jamison, Assistant Professor at IQC and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo, joins us for our next virtual Fireside Chat. We’ll talk about working under a Nobel laureate, teaching online before it was cool, and how to chill a molecule to nearly absolute zero.

Fluxonium qubits for ultra-high-fidelity and scalable quantum processors

IQC Colloquium - Chunqing Deng, Quantum Scientist and Head of the Experimental Group Alibaba Quantum Laboratory

The success of superconducting quantum computing (SQC) has so far been largely built upon the transmon qubit. Finding an alternative qubit that drastically outperforms transmon represents one of the most fundamental and exciting frontiers of SQC. The fluxonium qubit stands out as a promising candidate, due to its long coherence times and large anharmonicity. Furthermore, fluxonium can be directly integrated into the existing circuit-QED schemes for scaling.
