QCT group Milestone: Successful Control of Flux Qubits
October 18, 2023
Quantum Computing Technologies GroupResearchers at the QCT group have achieved precise control over flux qubits, a crucial component for quantum annealing.
The figure below is called a Chevron plot and it demonstrates the control of flux qubits that had not previously been possible to control in the group.
