Tech Talks @ Horizon

Towards Universal Quantum Computation with Superconducting Circuits

Tech Talks @ Horizon Quantum is our forum for staying up to date with quantum computing developments from across the research community. We host invited speakers, provide the platform, and benefit from exchanging ideas with those who are advancing the technology and the industry.

In this talk, Dr Yvonne Gao, Principal Investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, briefly introduces superconducting quantum circuits before identifying the challenges of building larger quantum devices and proposing strategies for addressing some of these challenges, such as modularity and hardware-efficient quantum error correction techniques.

Abstract
Dr Gao provides a brief introduction to superconducting circuits and the challenges of building larger quantum devices. She then discusses strategies for tackling some of these challenges, through modularity and hardware-efficient quantum error correction techniques She concludes with an overview of the current activity occurring in Singapore's quantum computing ecosystem, in terms of quantum hardware building.
