We seek to establish an alternative approach to quantum error correction (QEC) for superconducting qubits. This approach, developed through the Inria-Yale collaboration, is known under the name of cat codes, because it employs multiple interconnected high coherence cavity modes with non-linear dissipation to encode a qubit in superpositions of Schrödinger cat states. We aim to implement error protected qubits, fault tolerant operations, and demonstrate the scalability of this approach. Our project will enable quantum experiments towards the ambitious and well-defined goal of constructing a logical qubit, on which we can perform gates, and most importantly, QEC.
Participation in Other International Programs
-
Yale-ARO subaward: In the framework of the collaborations with Yale university, Quantic team has received a sub-award of 500k dollars over 4 years starting in 2018 from Yale university. This sub-award is part of an ARO (Army Research Office) grant received by our collaborators at Yale and covers the expenses related to our collaborations (hiring of new PhD students and postdocs at Inria and travels between Inria and Yale).
-
DARPA: Alain Sarlette is international key personnel on the DARPA project “The Quantum Computing Revolution and Optimization: Challenges and Opportunities” led by optimization researchers at Lehigh Universty. This project of about 2M dollars can fund some exchanges during the coming years.
-
Berkeley exchange initiative: P. Rouchon and A. Sarlette have set up an exchange initiative with Birgitta Whaley about quantum control and error correction based on continuous measurements. This initiative has funded a research visit of Gerardo Cardona at Berkeley; a student from Berkeley is bound to visit us soon in return.
