meQuanics - QSI@UTS Seminar Series - S23 - Lieven Vandersypen (QuTech, U. Delft)

During this time of lockdown, the centre for quantum software and information (QSI) at the University of Technology Sydney has launched an online seminar series.  With talks once or twice a week from leading researchers in the field, meQuanics is supporting this series by mirroring the audio from each talk.  I would encourage if you listen to this episode, to visit and subscribe to the UTS:QSI YouTube page to see each of these talks with the associated slides to help it make more sense.

Silicon spin qubits gain traction for large-scale quantum computation and simulation.  

TITLE: A Scalable “Spins-Inside” Quantum Processor and Simulator SPEAKER: Prof Lieven Vandersypen 

AFFILIATION: QuTech, Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Dept of Quantum Nanoscience, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands 

HOSTED BY: Dr JP (Juan Pablo) Dehollain, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information  

ABSTRACT:  Excellent control of over physical 50 qubits has been achieved, but can we also realize 50 fault-tolerant qubits? Here quantum bits encoded in the spin state of individual electrons in silicon quantum dot arrays have emerged as a highly promising avenue. In this talk, I will present our vision of a large-scale spin-based quantum processor, and our ongoing work to realize this vision. I will also show how the same platform offers a powerful platform for analog quantum simulation of Fermi-Hubbard physics and quantum magnetism.
