AQT bridges the quantum information science and technology domain in superconducting quantum circuits from fundamental science and quantum algorithms beyond single, academic, proof of concept demonstrations to a broad range of informative and impactful calculations.
AQT leverages research synergies and a unique open and flexible quantum architecture, allowing technology rooted outside the national laboratory environment, such as mature designs in the academic world and evolving industrial products, to be deployed and field-tested.
AQT evaluates novel emerging technologies that can potentially complete or replace existing hardware thereby mitigating some of the discovered limitations.
AQT partners with the full ecosystem of quantum researchers in academia, National Labs, and industry to exploit synergies that advance quantum processor technology and algorithm development relevant to real work applications.
AQT offers open access to the entire quantum computing stack enabling broad explorations with increasingly complex superconducting processors for gate-based computing.
AQT trains the next generation of scientists and engineers on cutting-edge multiple hardware and software resources and transitioning advances.
AQT complements other resources in the quantum ecosystem by providing users access to the latest pre-competitive quantum devices.
AQT has built a multidisciplinary in-house team focused on the design, fabrication, operation, and control of superconducting quantum processors while leveraging partnerships with industry.
AQT leverages a robust history of investments, research, and expertise from many different scientific and engineering disciplines across the Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley landscapes. It has a broad mandate to upgrade all aspects of facility operation through a combination of user influenced internal development and strategic partnerships with external entities.
AQT hosts undergraduate students for extended thesis projects, often for a year or more. It also offers an ideal training laboratory for graduate students and postdocs to engage with projects from materials and fabrication to quantum algorithms and applications.
