Watson Research Center.\n\n\nAbstract:The emergence of quantum com puting has enabled new paradigms of solving problems on the path towards surpassing classical computing platforms. A critical link in its implemen tation is determining which constraints pose the greatest limitations on qubit performance. After a brief introduction into superconducting transm on qubits\, I will describe several mechanisms that are responsible for t he relaxation or decoherence of superconducting qubits and the correspond ing methods that can be utilized to characterize their influence. The res ulting analysis\, based on analytical and computational approaches\, prov ides guidance into the design of qubits and the metallization that compri ses them\, allowing for a more accurate comparison of parameters that can influence their manufacture and operation. I will also detail how these aspects provide a framework for understanding the evolution of IBM’s offe rings in the era of near-term quantum computing.\n\n\nThis seminar will b e held exclusively on Zoom (955 5209 1021).
