Abstract: Topological superconductivity could host quasiparticles that are key candidates for fault tolerant quantum computation due to their immunity to noise as they obey non-Abelian exchange statistics. For example, in the case of Majorana Zero Modes (MZM), braiding enables two topologically protected quantum gates. While their direct manipulation in solid-state systems remains experimentally challenging, digital […]

Abstract: Analog circuits have emerged as a valuable quantum emulation and simulation platform. Specifically, they have been experimentally shown to excel in emulating coherent state vector dynamics and motifs of quantum circuits, such as the quantum Fourier transform, tensor product superpositions, two-level systems such as Josephson junctions, and nuclear magnetic resonance state dynamics, all on […]

Quantum computers are regarded as the future of computing, as they are believed to be capable of solving extremely complex problems that are intractable on conventional digital computers. However, near-term quantum computers are prone to a plethora of noise sources that are difficult to mitigate, possibly limiting their scalability and precluding us from running any […]

One of the major obstacles to the adoption of quantum computing is the requirement to define quantum circuits at the quantum gate level. Many programmers are familiar with high-level or low-level programming languages but not quantum gates nor the low-level quantum logic required to derive useful results from quantum computers. The steep learning curve involved […]
