Abstract

Superconducting Circuits are a leading platform in the study of quantum information processing. Lead by the lecturers, students familiar with the basic experimental concepts of superconducting circuits will explore state-of-the-art research topics in the field.

Objective

As a student you will gain knowledge of and detailed understanding in relevant aspects of physical implementations of superconducting circuits, advanced strategies to improve their performance and scalability, and alternative approaches to quantum information processing with superconducting circuits.

Content

Physically relevant aspects: quasiparticles, strongly-coupled defects, readout optimization, leakage, spectator errors, ... Advanced gates: state and process tomography, (interleaved) randomized benchmarking, parametric gates, tuneable couplers, ... Scalability: feedforward, modularity, crosstalk, packaging, ... Alternative approaches: cat qubits and bosonic codes, hybrid systems, optical access and transduction, ...
