Hands‑On Workshop Turns Chip Layouts Into Superconducting Qubits

How do you actually go from a chip layout to a working superconducting qubit? That's the whole point of the Quantum Device Workshop — back at UCLA, June 15–18. Four days, fully hands-on. I'll be teaching. 🚀 https://t.co/iwY1E43ekH

Linking Chip Layout to Hamiltonian Enables Usable Qubits

Designing useable superconducting qubits involves bridging the gap between the physical chip layout and the Hamiltonian that governs its physical behavior.

Braiding Fibonacci Anyons Enables Universal Quantum Gates

How can we build universal quantum gates by braiding exotic particles that don't exist in free space? Fibonacci anyons are quasiparticle excitations of topologically ordered quantum states whose braiding statistics are rich enough to perform universal quantum computation.

From LC Oscillator to Transmon: Building Superconducting Qubits

How do you actually make a qubit from a superconducting circuit? Superconducting qubits are one of the leading platforms for quantum computing, but the path from an LC oscillator to a functioning transmon qubit involves some complex (and fascinating) physics.

Disorder Stops Quantum Systems From Reaching Thermal Equilibrium

What happens when we introduce disorder to a many-body system? In classical physics, we're taught that systems eventually reach thermal equilibrium. However, in quantum mechanics, disorder can prevent equilibrium through a phenomenon known as many-body localization.

Google Invites Proposals for Early Willow Quantum Access

@GoogleQuantumAI is currently accepting proposals for early access to the Willow quantum processor. This hardware is not yet publicly available, so this a notable opportunity for research groups looking to run experiments on state-of-the-art superconducting quantum hardware.
