Research overview
Three topics that depend on each other: better devices make codes work, codes make algorithms worth running, algorithms tell us which device errors matter.
-
|Superconducting Qubits⟩
Design, fabricate and measure transmon qubits; chase the defects and noise that shorten their memory.
-
|Error Correction⟩
Surface codes and decoders that notice errors from syndrome flags and fix them before they spread.
-
|Quantum Algorithms⟩
Variational and simulation algorithms sized for today’s noisy chips, with honest error bars.
How the topics connect
- Devices set the error rates and the kinds of errors.
- Error correction turns those rates into logical-qubit lifetimes.
- Algorithms show which failures actually change an answer — and send us back to the devices.
