Entangled photon-pairs are a vital resource in quantum information protocols ranging from quantum key distribution to teleportation. The commonly used technique for generating photon-pairs is by a three-wave mixing process called spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in bulk crystals. The increased demand of quality entangled photon-pair sources for various applications and the readily available technology to...

Superconducting circuits are a prime contender both for realizing fault-tolerant quantum processors and for executing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) algorithms. After a brief introduction to the quantum physics of superconducting circuits I will focus on the latter. The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is one of a whole class of variational methods, which are believed...

The growing ability to manipulate quantum systems is paving the way for a second quantum revolution and a number of initiatives worldwide have been formed to foster quantum technologies. These exciting novel applications are exploiting specific quantum properties which are not accessible with classical resources such as superposition and entanglement of individual quantum systems. The...

This seminar will be conducted remotely. To request the Zoom link, please send an email to: mipse-central@umich.edu Abstract: Matter at extreme pressures, temperatures, and densities characterizes a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena, including interiors of Jovian size planets, hyper-velocity meteor impacts, the burning core of stars, thermonuclear burning inertial confinement fusion capsules. Matter...

Register to join us for a webinar on how to use quantum control and measurement to discover the unknown properties of quantum hardware, allowing simple tune up and the identification of sources of noise and error. We will introduce two complementary techniques essential to the characterization of quantum devices: System Identification and Noise Spectrum Reconstruction. This...

The power of quantum information lies in its capacity to be non-local, encoded in correlations among two, three, or many entangled particles.  Yet our ability to produce, understand, and exploit such correlations is hampered by the fact that the interactions between particles and ordinarily local.   I will report on experiments in which we use...
