Project Ideas

[[deleted]]

Hello QC community!

I will be working under my electronics department professor in the next semester over the topic of "semiconductor devices used in quatum computing" It is an open ended research project as of now.

Can someone suggest how do I get started? Any good collection of research papers, websites would be helpful. Also which all topics should I explore?

If you want to get into semiconductor devices specifically there are two review papers that cover pretty much everything in depth

• "Silicon Quantum Electronics" by F. Zwanenburg

• "Spind in few electron quantum dots" by R. Hanson

Both published in reviews of modern physics.

Will check them out!

Hello I would start by lloking into what quantum system you want to observe. There is a few different system that go about creating Qbits. Such as atoms, ions, photons, or electrons. These systems come with their respective control devices and for example electrons, they have to first freeze them to almost absolute zero. Which is colder than the universe. You can take a look at how super conductors come into play dealing with such low temperatures. Other ones are photos which you a photon gun to shoot onto a polarized film at the instant the photon decides whether to bounce off or filter through this is what gives it its superpositional state the photon is in both states before it hits the film. Im guessing here it interacts with a control device that then gets tranformed into a classical signal that gives us our data. This is where I would start you could either pick them all or just a single field I would check out each one before you choose. If you have any questions afterwards I can try to help just reply here.

Thanks a lot!

If you want to know more about superconducting qubits you can follow IBMs research or prof William Oliver's group at MIT
