Prospects for Networking Superconducting Quantum Computers Over Optical Channels

A promising quantum computing architecture comprises modules of superconducting quantum processors linked via quantum transducers over optical channels. I will discuss how transducers entangle microwave and optical photons and their prospectives for quantum networking.

About the Speaker

Abram Falk is a research scientist at IBM Quantum where he studies quantum computing and quantum networking. Prior to that he received his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University and was the Elings Prize Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His work has focused on methods of enhancing light-matter interactions in condensed matter systems, particularly group-IV structures like carbon nanotubes, SiC and SiGe. These sorts of enhanced light-matter interactions are key to the scaling of quantum computing beyond a single cryogenic environment.
