Dan Stancil and Greg Byrd, professors in NC State\u2019s College of Engineering,<\/a> have authored a new textbook, titled \u201cPrinciples of Superconducting Quantum Computers.\u201d The book, recently published by Wiley, comprehensively covers the engineering of quantum computing hardware and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging the gaps among computer science, physics, and electrical and computer engineering, Stancil and Byrd use real-life data to illustrate critical quantum-computing concepts. Written for senior-level undergrads and graduate students, the book focuses on the topics of devices, circuits, control, and error correction \u2014 including the need for cryogenic temperatures; an introduction to qubits, gates, and circuits; and explorations of the physics of single-qubit gates, as well as a practical discussion of the physics of two-qubit gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stancil, the Alcoa Distinguished Professor and the head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering<\/a>, serves as the executive director of NC State\u2019s IBM Quantum Innovation Center<\/a>. Byrd, a professor and associate head in the same department, serves on the Quantum Hub\u2019s Research and Education Advisory Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IBM Quantum Innovation Center at NC State works to promote the growth of quantum computing across the university \u2014 and advance real-world applications of quantum computing globally. Over 100 faculty members and students currently utilize the IBM Quantum Innovation Center at NC State, creating a robust ecosystem equipped with a future-ready workforce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
