SUMMARY:Quantum BC Seminar Series - Lukas Chrostowski
DESCRIPTION:The Quantum BC Seminar Series is a monthly talk given by faculty in BC on various topics related to quantum computing. The talks happen on the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm.\n\n\nPlease join us for our next seminar on Tuesday\, July 11\, 2023 at 2pm with Lukas Chrostowski from UBC where he will discuss Quantum Silicon Photonics.\n\nJoin in Person:\n\nAt UBC: MCLD Room 3038 \nAt SFU: SCP P8445.2 \n\nJoin on Zoom: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/69443327772?pwd=TGhhTXFIQ3ZiUmNrN0pUa3FObTNydz09\nMeeting ID: 694 4332 7772\nPasscode: 996727\n\nJuly.2023.Lukas.C.Seminar\n\nTitle: Quantum Silicon Photonics\n\nAbstract: Photonic integrated circuits\, implemented in silicon\, have become a mainstream technology for providing high-speed optical communication links within data centres. Other applications include various sensors (LIDAR\, biomedical\, environment)\, optical computing\, and quantum information processing.  Perhaps the most ambitious application for integrated photonics is in quantum computing. Photonics can be used for the computation itself (e.g. PsiQuantum\, Xanadu)\, or can be an enabling technology to couple between spin qubits to build scalable hybrid photonic-spin quantum processors (the SFU-UBC SiQL CFI project\, Photonic Inc.).  Finally\,  photonics can be used for that it does best – optical communications – to build quantum communication links between quantum processors and quantum sensors.  This talk will discuss research to develop the ingredients necessary for these technologies. This includes novel fabrication techniques using electron beam lithography (SiEPICfab consortium)\, the design of devices such as single photon sources\, single photon detectors\, and tunable high-Q resonators for spin qubits\, and building instrumentation to test these devices and circuits including cryogenic probe stations and cryogenic photonic packaging.\n\nLukas Chrostowski is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia. Through his research in silicon photonics\, optoelectronics\, high-speed laser design\, fabrication and test\, for applications in optical communications\, biophotonics\, and quantum photonics\, he has published more than 300 journal and conference publications. He co-authored the book “Silicon Photonics Design” (Cambridge University Press\, 2015).  Dr. Chrostowski was the co-director of the Advanced Materials and Process Engineering Laboratory (AMPEL) Nanofabrication Facility (ANF)\, 2008-2016.  Dr. Chrostowski was the Program Director of the NSERC CREATE Silicon Electronic-Photonic Integrated Circuits (Si-EPIC) training program in Canada\, and has been teaching numerous silicon photonics workshops and courses since 2008\, which continue today as the SiEPICfab consortium.  Chrostowski received the Killam Teaching Prize at the University of British Columbia in 2014\, IEEE Photonics Society Technical Skills Educator Award in 2021\, and IEEE Canada’s J.M Ham Outstanding Engineering Educator Award in 2021.  He was an elected member of the IEEE Photonics Society 2014-2016 Board of Governors.  He was elected to the college of the Royal Society of Canada in 2019. Chrostowski is the Program Director for the NSERC CREATE 2020-2026 Quantum Computing program (Quantum BC)\, co-leading the Quantum Silicon Photonics design-fabricate-test workshop.

SUMMARY:QBC Seminar Series - Paul Haljan
DESCRIPTION:The Quantum BC Seminar Series is a monthly talk given by faculty in BC on various topics related to quantum computing. The talks happen on the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm. \n  \nJune.2023.Poster.Paul.Haljan \n  \nPlease join us for our fourth seminar on Tuesday\, June 13\, 2023 at 2pm with Paul Haljan from SFU who will present on Realizing a Structural Phase Transition of Trapped Ions in the Quantum Regime. \n  \nJoin on Zoom: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/69443327772?pwd=TGhhTXFIQ3ZiUmNrN0pUa3FObTNydz09 \nMeeting ID: 694 4332 7772 \nPasscode: 996727 \n  \n\nSeminar Title: Realizing a Structural Phase Transition of Trapped Ions in the Quantum Regime by Paul C Haljan\, Department of Physics\, Simon Fraser University\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: Arrays of trapped ions are a versatile technological platform with exquisite control over experimental parameters at the single-atom level. This allows both manipulation of the internal quantum state of the ions and control of their quantum collective vibrational motion – phonons – in the trap. A focus of my research group is advancing the technology of phononic coherent control in trapped ions. As part of this\, we are aiming to demonstrate precise manipulation of a single vibrational mode of trapped ions in order to control a quantum structural phase transition in a string of trapped ions – the 1D linear to 2D zigzag transition. This system would provide an intrinsic source of novel entangled states of ion crystal structures\, which can be manipulated through trapped ion double-well interferometry. In this talk I will describe how we experimentally control and characterize the linear-zigzag structural transition for arrays of ions confined in a linear Paul trap and cooled to near their ground state of motion. I will show how Raman sideband spectroscopy can be used as a probe to reveal both the energy level structure and the motional population distribution of the ion crystal near the critical point of the transition. I will look at what our results reveal about the nature of the transition in practice\, and finally I will consider prospects for coherence assessment near the critical point as well as potential applications in in-situ sensing of electric field noise.\n\n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Paul C. Haljan is an Associate Professor of Physics at Simon Fraser University with expertise in trapped-ion quantum technologies. Before joining SFU in 2005\, Paul performed his doctoral work on quantum vertices at Boulder and JILA and held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan\, where he worked on quantum gate implementations in trapped-ion hardware and early algorithm demonstrations. At SFU\, the Haljan research group is focused on experiments with trapped ions\, quantum simulations and quantum state manipulation\, and technology development for trapped-ion quantum computing.

SUMMARY:Seminar on Cryo Circuits for Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:IEEE SSCS/CASS Vancouver Distinguished Lecturer Talk \nCryogenic CMOS for low power quantum computing applications: Roadmap\, Present Status\, Challenges and Opportunities \nSudipto Chakraborty\, \n IBM T. J. Watson Master Inventor\, NXP Semiconductors \nJune 6th\, 4pm Pacific Time \n\nRegistration link: \nhttps://events.vtools.ieee.org/event/register/363109\n\n\nIn-person venue: \nMcLeod 3038\, \nElectrical and Computer Engineering\, \nUniversity of British Columbia \n2356 Main Mall\, Vancouver\, BC V6T 1Z4 \n\n\nZoom Link:\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/66828102935?pwd=cmFzMmRSWGFvb0hreVdialNWWW1Cdz09 \nMeeting ID: 668 2810 2935\nPasscode: 837279 \n\n\n\nThis talk will cover practical challenges for cryogenic CMOS designs for next generation quantum computing. Starting from a roadmap level understanding and future trends\, it will detail the design considerations for a non-multiplexed\, semi-autonomous\, transmon qubit state controller (QSC) implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. The QSC includes an augmented general-purpose digital processor that supports waveform generation and phase rotation operations combined with a low power current-mode single sideband upconversion I/Q mixer-based RF arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology\, the QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range\, achieving an SFDR > 50dB for a signal bandwidth of 500MHz. With the controller operating in the 4K stage of a cryostat and connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage\, measured transmon T1 and T2 coherence times were 75.7μs and 73μs\, respectively\, in each case comparable to results achieved using conventional room temperature controls. In further tests with transmons\, a qubit-limited error rate of 7.76×10-4 per Clifford gate is achieved\, again comparable to results achieved using room temperature controls. The QSC’s maximum RF output power is -18 dBm\, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW. \n\nSudipto Chakraborty received his B. Tech from Indian Institute of Technology\, Kharagpur in 1998 and Ph.D in EE from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2002. He worked as a researcher in Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC) till 2004. From 2004 to 2016\, he was a senior member of technical staff at Texas Instruments where he contributed to low power integrated circuit design in more than 10 product families in the areas of automotive\, wireless\, medical and microcontrollers. Since 2017\, he has been working at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center where he leads the low power circuit design for next generation quantum computing applications using nano CMOS technology nodes. He has authored or co-authored more than 75 papers\, two books and holds 83 US patents. He has served in the technical program committees of various conferences including CICC\, RFIC\, IMS and has been elected as an IBM master inventor in 2022 for his contributions. He is a distinguished lecturer for the SSCS and CASS societies and serves as an associate editor for TCAS-I.

SUMMARY:QBC Seminar Series - Prashant Nair
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe Quantum BC Seminar Series is a monthly talk given by faculty in BC on various topics related to quantum computing. The talks happen on the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm. \nPlease join us for our third seminar with Dr. Prashant Nair on Tuesday\, May 9\, 2023 at 2pm. \nJoin on Zoom: https://ubc.zoom.us/j/69443327772?pwd=TGhhTXFIQ3ZiUmNrN0pUa3FObTNydz09 \nMeeting ID: 694 4332 7772 \nPasscode: 996727 \nTitle: Towards Efficient and Effective Optimization of Variational Quantum Algorithms through Parameter Transfer\n \nAbstract:\nOptimizing parameters for variational quantum algorithms in the presence of noise is challenging due to the susceptibility of the algorithm to noise. In our approach\, we address this challenge by utilizing the parameter transfer technique\, which involves first identifying optimal parameters for a smaller instance of the problem and then transferring those parameters to the larger instance. By doing so\, we can reduce the impact of noise on the optimization process and improve the accuracy of the optimizer. Our experimental results demonstrate that our technique effectively reduces the circuit size by 28% in terms of qubit counts and 38% in terms of circuit depth\, leading to optimal points that are closer to the globally optimal points than the baseline. This approach has potential applications in quantum computing and can enable more accurate solutions for larger instances of problems.\n \n\nBiography:  \nPrashant Nair is an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC). His primary interests are Computer Architecture\, Quantum Systems\, AI/ML Systems\, Memory Systems\, Reliability\, and Security. He leads the “Systems and Architectures (STAR) Lab.” Dr. Nair has 25 publications in top-tier venues such as ISCA\, MICRO\, HPCA\, ASPLOS\, DSN\, and VLDB. He has received several awards\, including the best paper at HPCA 2023\, two IEEE MICRO Top-Picks honourable mentions\, and the ECE Graduate Research Assistant Excellence Award for his Ph.D. at Georgia Tech. Before joining UBC\, he investigated practical data compression for IBM systems at T. J. Watson Research Center in New York. Dr. Nair’s works have had a commercial impact. Specifically\, his work on integrating On-Die Error Correcting Code and Host Error Correcting Code (published in ISCA-2016) has been successfully integrated into the HBM3 Memory Protocol by JEDEC consortium. Furthermore\, top industry players employ ideas similar to his work (CAL-2014) on probabilistic Row Hammer mitigation in DRAM-based memory systems. \n

SUMMARY:QBC Seminar Series - Thomas E. Baker
DESCRIPTION:The Quantum BC Seminar Series is a monthly talk given by faculty in BC on various topics related to quantum computing. The talks happen on the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm. \n  \nPlease join us for our second seminar with Dr. Thomas Baker on Tuesday\, April 11\, 2023 at 2pm. \nJoin on Zoom: \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/69443327772?pwd=TGhhTXFIQ3ZiUmNrN0pUa3FObTNydz09 \nMeeting ID: 694 4332 7772 \nPasscode: 996727 \nTitle: Quantum algorithms now and in the future \nAuthor: Thomas E. Baker\, Canada Research Chair in Quantum Computing for Modelling of Molecules and Materials \nAffiliation: Department of Physics & Astronomy; Department of Chemistry; Centre for Advanced Materials and Related Technology\, University of Victoria\, British Columbia V8P 5C2\, Canada \nAbstract: \nComputing has revolutionized the landscape of what is possible in terms of modern technology over the past century. Continuing to improve technologies over the next century offers to improve our technological capabilities as much or more so as has already been done. This would affect everything from medicine to farming yields to battery storage. How a computer is built and what algorithms are best run on it are crucial questions  for ensuring that the best and most accurate results are obtained. This talk will focus primarily on how algorithms can be made in two contexts: one for the quantum computer and the other for classical computers. Algorithms to access the most efficient information to describe the many-electron solutions from the quantum computer will be discussed. Additionally\, tensor network algorithms that rely on entanglement renormalization\, an efficient strategy for physically relevant systems\, will be discussed and introduced here. With the best algorithms\, it will be possible to push technological advances forward and achieve noticeable improvements in everyday life. \nThis research was undertaken\, in part\, thanks to funding from the Canada Research Chairs Program. T.E.B. is grateful for support from the University of Victoria’s start-up grant from the Faculty of Science. \n

SUMMARY:QBC Seminar Series - Stephanie Simmons
DESCRIPTION:The Quantum BC Seminar Series is a monthly talk given by faculty in BC on various topics related to quantum computing. The talks happen on the second Tuesday of each month at 2pm. \nPlease join us for our first seminar with Dr. Stephanie Simmons on Tuesday\, March 14\, 2023 at 2pm. Dr. Simmons will speak about Silicon Colour Centres. \nSilicon Colour Centres:  \nThe future global quantum internet will require high-performance matter-photon interfaces. The highly demanding technological requirements indicate that the matter-photon interfaces currently under study all have potentially unworkable drawbacks\, and there is a global race underway to identify the best possible new alternative. For overwhelming commercial and quantum reasons\, silicon is the best possible host for such an interface. Silicon is not only the most developed integrated photonics and electronics platform by far\, isotopically purified silicon-28 has also set records for quantum lifetimes at both cryogenic and room temperatures [1]. Despite this\, the vast majority of research into photon-spin interfaces has notably focused on visible-wavelength colour centres in other materials. \nIn this talk I will introduce a variety of silicon colour centres and discuss their properties in isotopically purified silicon-28. Some of these centres have zero-phonon optical transitions in the telecommunications bands [2]\, some have long-lived spins in their ground states [3]\, and some\, including the newly rediscovered T centre\, have both [4] and can be integrated into silicon photonics chips at scale [5]. \n[1] K.

SUMMARY:Superconducting Quantum Device Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing has the potential to solve problems beyond the capabilities of conventional supercomputers. It could revolutionize the advancement of several fields\, including biochemistry\, finance\, logistics\, and artificial intelligence. However\, building quantum hardware is a great challenge\, involving both concepts and technology that have little in common with those in conventional silicon chips. It involves cryogenic environments and in the currently most advanced approach\, it relies on superconducting circuits that display macroscopic quantum effects. These concepts and techniques are not part of the usual science and engineering curriculum. \nTo fill this gap\, the Universities of Calgary and Victoria\, the two NSERC CREATE programs –  Quantum BC and QSciTech – the three quantum institutes – Institut quantique\, Institute for Quantum Computing and the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute – and CMC Microsystems have joined forces to bring to you the workshop on the design\, fabrication\, and testing of superconducting devices used in quantum computer hardware. We invite you to join the virtual workshop taking place from June 20 to July 8.

SUMMARY:Alan Aspuru-Guzik - Tripartite Seminar Series Speaker
DESCRIPTION:For our third instalment of the Tripartite Seminar Series\, we welcome Alan Aspuru-Guzik from the University of Toronto. He will speak on the topic Quantum Algorithms for Near-Term Quantum Computers.\n\n\nABSTRACT: \nQuantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers \nWe are in the NISQ era of quantum computing. NISQ stands for “Near-term intermediate-scale quantum computer”. These machines are not error corrected and have of the order of tens of quantum bits. In this talk\, I will discuss a family of quantum algorithms that are promising applications for these devices that my group and others have developed. I will discuss potential applications for the simulation of chemistry and materials and quantum machine learning. \n\n\nThe Tripartite Quantum Computing Seminar Series (TQCSS)\, intends to attract a wide audience of people in British Columbia and beyond. The TQCSS Committee is comprised of faculty from 3 BC universities.\n\nSeminars will take place some Wednesdays over Zoom with a 45 minute seminar followed by 10-15 mins for Q&A.\n\nWatch the Seminar Here
