Leveraging Silicon Carbide Defects to Build Quantum Information Hardware

In this webinar hosted by the Nanophotonics Technical Group, Marina Radulaski from the University of California, Davis, will discuss how open quantum system modeling provides insights into polaritonic physics achievable with realistic device parameters through evaluation of cavity-protection, localization and phase transition effects. The mapping of these dynamics to gate-based quantum circuits opens the door for quantum advantage in understanding cavity quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects using commercial Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware.

Subject Matter Level: Intermediate - Assumes basic knowledge of the topic
