[TRIUMF Seminars]

Date/Time: Mon 2019-10-21 at 14:00

Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Sara Ejtemaee (D-Wave)

Title:     An introduction to D-Wave superconducting qubits

Abstract: Superconducting qubits are one of the most promising systems in quantum computing. In this lecture, we will start with an introduction to the physics of superconductors and proceed to the building blocks of superconducting qubits, including Josephson junctions and superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID). We will then review different types of superconducting qubits and discuss their pros and cons. Finally, we will focus on the implementation of superconducting flux-qubits in D-Wave Systems' quantum annealing processors.

Lecture series on quantum computing (2/5).
