Abstract:

This report will focus on key technological advances in superconducting and topological quantum computing, highlighting the significance of fundamental research on materials and devices for the development of quantum computing chips. Using flux as an example, the report introduces device noise studies and novel qubit design research related to flux, covering areas such as noise dynamics, quasiparticle interactions, and topological state engineering.

 

Biography:

Mingtang Deng is an Associate Researcher at the School of Computer Science, National University of Defense Technology (NUDT).
