- Abstract: Qubit entanglement is a crucial step toward a universal quantum computer. A qubit system based on superconducting circuit has the advantage that it is easy to achieve relatively strong coupling between qubits, therefore fast entanglement is possible. This thesis focuses on the method to manipulate fast entanglement in a superconducting quantum circuit, in particular on the method to realize fast entangling two-qubit gate. The first half of the thesis presents the result of fast high-fidelity two-qubit gate on fluxonium qubits, specifically the sqrt-iSWAP gate and the cross-resonant CNOT gate. The second half of the thesis starts with a general investigation on the parametric quantum state transfer between two quantum resonators, then presents an application of parametric transfer to the gatemon qubit system. The result demonstrates that parametric resonance enables fast and high-fidelity iSWAP, CNOT, and sqrt-iSWAP gate on gatemon qubits.

- Black and Brown in Physics info meeting
- Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
- Place: B343 Sterling or
- Abstract: Ayshea Banes, 2nd year PhD student, will host an informational meeting on August 7th at 2pm in room 2314 in Chamberlin. This will be a fairly short and simple meeting consisting of seeing the amount of people interested in this org and providing a basis of what this org will be about. This meeting (and org) is open to anyone who identifies as black and/or brown, and anyone who considers themselves an ally to the black and brown community!
I am excited to finally put this in action and I hope to see a bunch of you there!
