Advances in Superconducting Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-31)The topics of this thesis are based on circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED), a theoretical and experimental platform allowing the study of light--matter interaction. This platform is rich both in observable physical ... -
Controlling Quantum Information Devices
(University of Waterloo, 2012-06-18)Quantum information and quantum computation are linked by a common mathematical and physical framework of quantum mechanics. The manipulation of the predicted dynamics and its optimization is known as quantum control. Many ... -
Design and Implementation of an Entanglement Harvesting Experiment With Superconducting Flux Qubits
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-16)Recent studies in relativistic quantum information have predicted that it is possible to entangle two qubits tunably coupled to the same quantum field in its vacuum state, by allowing the qubits to couple to the field ... -
Microwave Quantum Optics using Giant Artificial Atoms and Parametrically Coupled Superconducting Cavities
(University of Waterloo, 2020-08-28)Artificially engineered atoms, built using superconducting electrical circuits, have had a broad impact on the field of quantum information and quantum computing. Based on the Josephson effect, superconducting qubits have ... -
Shape & cutoff in superconducting qubits, work fluctuations in correlation creation, & critical commentary
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-22)Part I We apply the Unruh-DeWitt model for a qubit interacting with a quantum field to a superconducting qubit. We use the flexibility of this model, as compared to the spin-boson model used widely in the literature, ...
