Abstract:
Quantum computers are at the forefront of a technological revolution that promises to substantially increase computing power beyond what is currently possible with classical computers. In particular, quantum computers have the potential to surpass classical computers in various fields, including factoring integer numbers, simulating quantum systems, and solving optimization problems. In numerous leading qubit technologies, such as superconducting qubits based on Josephson junctions, microwaves are crucial in various aspects of quantum computation. This includes qubit state initialization, superposition, entanglement, general manipulation, and readout, which are necessary for implementing quantum algorithms. Additionally, classical electronic control systems based on microwaves that allow for scalable, multi-channel, synchronous stimulus response measurements with low-latency feedback, may be the critical component needed to eventually achieve practical quantum computers.
This presentation focuses on the microwave-based design and physical implementation of superconducting qubits with a brief discussion of underlying physics. The key parameters of a superconducting qubit system will be emphasized, and simulations using HFSS will be utilized to enhance the understanding of microwave engineers. The talk will conclude with a discussion on the future prospects and challenges associated with superconducting quantum engineering.
