3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantum Information Science with Superconducting Circuits
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful candidate will join our experimental team in advancing our capabilities on quantum information processing of superconducting bosonic modes, also called continuous-variables systems. Compared to two-level superconducting qubits, the bosonic architectures may bring advantages such as longer coherence times, resource-efficient quantum error correction, and well-understood loss channels. Our group recently demonstrated the preparation, manipulation, and tomography of a logical qubit encoded in a highly coherent bosonic mode. Now we plan to exploit the high dimensionality of the bosonic mode Hilbert space to (i) implement quantum error correction protocols and (ii) extend our platform to multiple cavities to demonstrate a verifiable quantum speed up advantage.
