Duke and NC State Quantum Computing Seminar
September 17, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
NC State & Duke will host a Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminar Sept 10, 2021!
Talk Title: Circuit QED: From Materials to Mathematics
Speaker: Andrew Houck, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Princeton University
Abstract: Superconducting circuits provide a useful toolbox for science at the intersection of many different fields – materials, devices, physics, computer science, and mathematics. I will describe how our work with this platform spans these fields, drawing insight from many sources to advance the state of the art. In particular, I will show how materials science can lead to insight into improved qubit coherence; how Hamiltonian engineering can be used to immunize qubits against noise and provide faster gates; and how lattices of qubits and cavities can draw on graph theory to realize flat bands and novel fragile topological states.
This is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke. The In Person location for NC State is Venture Place, 2nd Floor, Large Classroom.
