Technical Challenges facing Quantum Computing with Superconducting Transmon Qubits
(40:30) Dr. Daniel Tennant, Rigetting Computing -- Presentation from 2023 Workshop on Quantum Computing: Devices, Cryogenic Electronics and Packaging (QC-DCEP) ...
Summary: In the last decade, Quantum Information Science has advanced from a mainly academic research topic to a rapidly growing section of the economy. During this time, superconducting qubits have become one of the most promising hardware platforms for near-future quantum computing processors. Devices based on superconducting circuits, cavities, and resonators have leveraged well established fabrication techniques to create a wide variety of structures capable of proof of principle demonstrations of multi-qubit operations, quantum simulations, quantum algorithms, and quantum error correction. In this talk, I will cover some of the fundamentals of superconducting qubit operation and the hardware infrastructure necessary for their operation. Additionally, I will highlight some of the current challenges in the development of this technology as the field progresses towards commercially viable quantum processors.
Dr. Daniel Tennant is a Senior Quantum Engineer at Rigetti Computing, a Full-Stack Quantum Computing company headquartered in the Bay Area. He completed his PhD at the University of Texas in 2017 in the research group of Dr. Raymond Orbach studying magnetic properties of mesoscopic spin glass materials. Afterwards he accepted a joint Postdoctoral Fellow position at the University of Waterloo and MIT Lincoln Laboratories developing technologies for superconducting quantum annealing processors. Following this, he worked at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as a Postdoctoral Researcher where his research focused on the detection, identification, and mitigation of noise sources in superconducting quantum devices. He currently utilizes the expertise gained at these research positions to design, test, and produce commercially viable quantum processing units at industry scale.
