Event Speaker: William Oliver
Event Location: 34-401A Grier A
Event Date/Time: Thursday, May 17, 2018 - 3:00pm
Abstract: Superconducting qubits are coherent artificial atoms assembled
from electrical circuit elements and microwave components. Their
lithographic scalability, compatibility with microwave control, and
operability at nanosecond time scales all converge to make the
superconducting qubit a leading candidate for the constituent logical
elements of a quantum information processor. Spectacular improvement in
their manufacturing and performance over the past decade has moved this
technology from the realm of scientific curiosity to the threshold of
technical reality.
Over the past 15 years, my research at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and MIT
campus has focused on the science and engineering of superconducting
qubits, contributing broadly to the materials, fabrication, design,
simulation, control, and measurement of state-of-art devices, as well as
the development of cryogenic CMOS and superconducting digital logic for
high-performance classical computing. In this talk, I will present this
work, our progress, and the exciting challenges associated with engineering
quantum systems of superconducting qubits.
2. Overlapping this is the Pappalardo symposium from 2-5pm, with several
different talks on various aspects of physics, some of which have some q
info significance.
