Improved Diagnostics & Performance for Quantum Error Correction
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-04)Building large scale quantum computers is one of the most exciting ventures being pursued by researchers in the 21st century. However, the presence of noise in quantum systems poses a major hindrance towards this ambitious ... -
Negative Quasi-Probability in the Context of Quantum Computation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-08-09)This thesis deals with the question of what resources are necessary and sufficient for quantum computational speedup. In particular, we study what resources are required to promote fault tolerant stabilizer computation to ... -
A walk through quantum noise: a study of error signatures and characterization methods
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-17)The construction of large scale quantum computing devices might be one of the most exciting and promising endeavors of the 21st century, but it also comes with many challenges. As quantum computers are supplemented with ... -
WKB Analysis of Tunnel Coupling in a Simple Model of a Double Quantum Dot
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-16)A simplified model of a double quantum dot is presented and analyzed, with applications to spin-qubit quantum computation. The ability to trap single electrons in semiconductor nanostructures has led to the proposal of ...
