So you want to build a useful quantum computer… where to begin?!
TITLE: Building Google’s Quantum Computer
SPEAKER: Dr Marissa Giustina
AFFILIATION: Google AI Quantum, Google Research, CA, USA
HOSTED BY: A/Prof Nathan Langford, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information
ABSTRACT:
The Google AI Quantum team develops chip-based circuitry that one can interact with (control and read out) and which behaves reliably according to a simple quantum model. Such quantum hardware holds promise as a platform for tackling problems intractable to classical computing hardware. While the demonstration of a universal, fault-tolerant, quantum computer remains a goal for the future, it has informed the design of a prototype with which we have recently controlled a quantum system of unprecedented scale.
This talk introduces Google’s quantum computing effort from both hardware and quantum-information perspectives, including an overview of recent technological developments and some recent results.
