Bit-Flips No More: The Magic of Cat Qubits in Quantum Computing
Alice & Bob, pioneers of cat qubits architecture, have unveiled a groundbreaking achievement: the Boson 4 chip system, a cat qubit that remarkably extends bit-flip times to over seven minutes, available on the Google Cloud Marketplace.
Quantum Sensing: Real-time Frequency Estimation With OPX+
This blog post highlights a novel approach to quantum sensing, enhancing real-time frequency estimation without single-shot-readout (SSR). It emphasizes advancements from a non-adaptive phase estimation algorithm with a binomial distribution method, showcasing superior performance and potential practical applications.
In this latest research from Prof. Ferdinand Kuemmeth's lab at NBI, this protocol is used for compensating the fluctuating environment of a spin qubit in real time. It is then further improved by adaptively choosing the probing time of the qubit based on the previous measurement outcomes. Agenda includes -
Fabrizio Berritta, (NBI): Overview of the latest research from Ferdinand's lab at NBI.
Fabio Ansaloni, (QM): Quantum dots research with OPX and QDAC use case.
Quantum Mechanics (QM) accelerates quantum research! With over 30 new scientific research papers published in 2024 from leading labs using QM's products, we have selected a few groundbreaking papers to spotlight. These papers leverage the processor-based OPX quantum control platform with its unmatched real-time processing and easy programming, as well as the QDAC high-precision low-noise voltage source.
“The Quantum Machines OPX control system has been an enabling technology for our research. It provides unparalleled flexibility and ease of use for experiments requiring real-time quantum feedforward control. With the integrated high-resolution time tagging, this platform is a no-brainer for advanced quantum networking experiments.”
Prof. Andrei Faraon
William L. Valentine Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering
“Using the OPX has been simplifying our work in many respects due to the intuitive implementation of sequences within QUA. In addition, the support by QM helped us debugging possible issues with swift responses and an easy and informal way of getting in touch over Discord.”
Prof. Yiwen Chu Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics
“Incorporating the OPX+ in our measurement instruments allowed us to set up time-domain measurements in minutes, seriously speeding up our sample characterization process. With the provided extensive live online help we get the support from QM's experts to further debug any problems arising during measurements. With QM support Qilimanjaro can deliver their differential Analog Quantum Computers based on superconducting qubit technology.”
