Building a superconducting quantum computer: From qubits to possibilities
Abstract
Quantum computers offer the potential to solve certain problems that are beyond the reach of even the most powerful classical supercomputers. Among the various hardware approaches, superconducting quantum computers—based on tiny circuits called Josephson junctions—are among the most promising.
In this short presentation, I will introduce the basic principles behind quantum computing, explain how quantum gates work, and walk through the construction of a small 5-qubit superconducting quantum computer. I will also briefly discuss how our existing platform can support software development and invite ideas for possible collaboration on building a user-friendly quantum software stack.
