The Quantum Processing Group develops new technologies for processing information using superconducting circuits. In addition, advanced fabrication techniques are being developed to enable true scaling of both superconducting quantum computers and ion-trap based systems.
Quantum information science harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to realize computational algorithms with complexities vastly intractable by current

We demonstrate the use of a single trapped ion as a sensor to probe electric-field noise from interchangeable test surfaces. As proof of principle, we measure
For the past two and a half decades, anomalous heating of trapped ions from nearby electrode surfaces has continued to demonstrate unexpected results. Caused by
Superconducting qubits, though promising for both near-term problem-solving as well as the development of large-scale quantum computing systems, are limited in
For innovations in surface-science and material-preparation technology that overcame a longstanding barrier to implementing ion-trap quantum computing.
