Quantum Systems Engineering - From Research to Development

Join a 59-minute colloquium lecture from pioneering quantum computing researcher John Martinis, co-founder of Qolab and recipient of the 2014 London Prize and 2021 John Stewart Bell prize. Explore the transition from quantum computing research to practical engineering implementation, focusing on the challenges of building larger machines with error correction. Learn about scientific and technical strategies crucial for developing complex quantum systems, including specific constraints like the impossibility of copying quantum information and the need for sophisticated control systems. Gain insights from Martinis' extensive experience, spanning from his groundbreaking PhD work in superconducting qubits during the 1980s to his leadership role at Google, where he contributed to achieving quantum supremacy in 2019.
