AQT announces the second open call for new user project proposals.
“The Advanced Quantum Testbed’s user program is an open hub for cutting-edge R&D, and our joint work with Super.tech has led to significant improvements in quantum algorithm performance on noisy hardware via an optimized compilation of quantum circuits,” said Irfan Siddiqi, Berkeley Lab’s AQT Director.”
According to one of the lead researchers, this experimental demonstration leveraged key expertise from Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley and built on previous multidisciplinary research at AQT on superconducting qutrits, enabling them to further explore a qutrit-based architecture and adapt the RB method to characterize the qutrit processor properly.
AQT scientists demonstrated an error characterization method — randomized benchmarking (RB) — on a superconducting qutrit quantum processor. Their results were published at Physical Review Letters earlier this year, marking a significant milestone towards benchmarking the accuracy of qutrit-based quantum devices and identifying the barriers to overcome in future research.
This past July, AQT Scientist and Head of Hardware Kasra Nowrouzi hosted a visit from undergraduate students from the University of California, Davis.
One of three awardees for this year, Hashim is part of the research team at the Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab)
