Zaproszenie na Seminarium Katedry Kriogeniki i Inżynierii Lotniczej w dniu 20 stycznia 2025 r. o godzinie 13 w sali 59 budynek C6.
Temat referatu: “Quantum Computing - How to build a full stack hardware solution for superconducting qubits".
Prelegent: Dr. Pat Gumann
Abstract: The field of quantum computing has grown at a fairly unexpected pace in the past decades. Superconducting quantum computing, in particular, has emerged as one of the leading platforms for building scalable, fault-tolerant quantum processors. However, the true challenge lies not only in identifying the most suitable qubits—those that exhibit long coherence times and low error rates—but also in overcoming the engineering complexities required for large-scale integration. In this talk, we will provide a comprehensive overview of all the components and material platforms that are at the heart of superconducting quantum technologies. We will discuss a need for a potential novel approach in modular cryogenic platforms, and some hardware opportunities for potential entrepreneurs. Finally, we will outline a roadmap for building a full-stack hardware solution for superconducting quantum computing.
Bio: Pat Gumann, received his PhD in experimental condensed matter physics from Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany, and has worked at various research facilities over his career, including Forschungs Zentrum, Juelich Germany (F. Pobell's gorup), Leiden University, The Netherlands (G. Frossati's group), the Institute for Solid State Physics at the University of Tokyo, the Low Temperature Laboratory at Kyoto University, The Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo in Canada, and the Department of Physics at Harvard University. His research focus has ranged from low temperature physics, quantum sensing, and for the past decade experimental quantum computing at IBM Quantum. In 2022, Dr. Gumann with his team established a world record in constructing and successfully commissioning world’s largest quantum—ready dilution refrigerator system, capable of reaching milliKelvin temperatures in 1.7 cubic meters of volume - which pushed the cryogenic industry on a new commercial, ‘large scale cryogenics’ path. Throughout his academic, industry career in addition to his published work he was granted over 230 patent disclosures.
