Quantum Control and Metrology for Quantum Simulations

Murphy Yuezhen Niu, University of Maryland, College Park

Abstract: We are at a pivotal moment in the realm of controllable quantum devices, thanks to over three decades of dedicated research and engineering. This moment marks the unveiling of the first practical applications of quantum computing systems, with quantum simulation emerging as a particularly compelling application. In my presentation, I will explore the domain of quantum control and metrology, a critical bridge between the high-level applications of quantum systems and their intricate low-level designs. I will delve into the complex process of designing and calibrating quantum gates, executing analog quantum operations, and employing methods to estimate, characterize, and counteract environmental noise. These techniques are crucial for advancing quantum simulation in areas like quantum chemistry and condensed matter systems.
