Minimum quantum run-time characterization and calibration via restless measurements with dynamic repetition rates
Caroline Tornow, Naoki Kanazawa, William E. Shanks +1
The performance of a quantum processor depends on the characteristics of the device and the quality of the control pulses. Characterizing cloud-based quantum computers and calibrat…
Optimization of the resonator-induced phase gate for superconducting qubits
Moein Malekakhlagh, William Shanks, Hanhee Paik
The resonator-induced phase gate is a two-qubit operation in which driving a bus resonator induces a state-dependent phase shift on the qubits equivalent to an effective inter…
Investigating surface loss effects in superconducting transmon qubits
J. M. Gambetta, C. E. Murray, Y. -K. -K. Fung +5
Superconducting qubits are sensitive to a variety of loss mechanisms including dielectric loss from interfaces. By changing the physical footprint of the qubit it is possible to mo…
Imaging Photon Lattice States by Scanning Defect Microscopy
D. L. Underwood, W. E. Shanks, Andy C. Y. Li +3
Microwave photons inside lattices of coupled resonators and superconducting qubits can exhibit surprising matter-like behavior. Realizing such open-system quantum simulators presen…
Low-Disorder Microwave Cavity Lattices for Quantum Simulation with Photons
Devin L. Underwood, Will E. Shanks, Jens Koch +1
We assess experimentally the suitability of coupled transmission line resonators for studies of quantum phase transitions of light. We have measured devices with low photon hopping…
Persistent Currents in Normal Metal Rings (Yale PhD thesis)
William E. Shanks
In this work, I present measurements of persistent currents in normal metal rings performed with cantilever torsional magnetometry. With this technique, the typical persistent curr…
