Advanced Materials for Quantum Computing

Abstract : The objective of this research project is the development of new solid state qubits for quantum computing using two main strategies: rare earths ions and ruthenates. The study of various sized spin based qubits in different condensed matter systems will allow us to understand and optimize the tradeoff between coherence and controllability. The effort is focused in synthesizing the qubit systems at AMRI-UNO, experimentally probing their suitability for quantum computation, and quantum computing device prototyping.
