President Obama today named 102 researchers as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers. The winners will receive their awards at a Washington …

Silicon quantum dots are a leading approach for solid-state quantum bits. However, developing this technology is complicated by the multi-valley nature of silicon. Here we observe transport of individual electrons in a silicon CMOS-based double quantum dot under electron …

Superconducting circuits are exceptionally flexible, enabling many different devices from sensors to quantum computers. Separately, epitaxial semiconductor devices such as spin qubits in silicon offer more limited device variation but extraordinary quantum properties for a solid-state system. It might be possible to merge the two approaches …

We report on the spectrum of a superconducting transmon device coupled to a planar superconducting resonator in the strong dispersive limit where discrete peaks, each corresponding to …

Photon number splitting is observed in a transmon coupled to a superconducting quasi-lumped-element resonator in the strong dispersive limit. A thermal population of 5.474 GHz photons …

Innovative proposals are sought to develop QCVV tools that will aid researchers as experiments begin to incorporate on the order of ten physical qubits. In particular, proposals should be focused on efficient (and near-optimal) methods for extracting metrics from experimental systems. Research areas include, but are not limited to: advances …
