Extensible Architecture for Superconducting Quantum Computing
(University of Waterloo, 2018-07-09)Quantum computing architectures with ten or more quantum bits (qubits) have been implemented using trapped ions and superconducting devices. The next milestone in the quest for a quantum computer is the realization of ... -
Quantum Gates and Decoupling in Qubits with Fixed Transverse Coupling
(University of Waterloo, 2017-05-25)Among all the quantum computer candidates, the superconducting system is one of the most convincing platforms due to its strong couplings and scalability. To be more specific, this thesis focuses on the superconducting ... -
Surface Code Threshold Calculation and Flux Qubit Coupling
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-02)Building a quantum computer is a formidable challenge. In this thesis, we focus on two projects, which tackle very different aspects of quantum computation, and yet still share a common goal in hopefully getting us closer ... -
Towards Analog Quantum Simulations of Dynamical Gauge Theories
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-20)A system which can implement an analog quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories has been proposed. In particular, the Schwinger model is formulated in terms of a lattice and superconducting qubit implementation is ...
