SUMMARY:Quantum BC Seminar Series - Dr. Joe Salfi
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, May 14 at 2pm for a seminar by Dr. Joe Salfi from the University of British Columbia. The title of his seminar is Scalable Quantum Computation With Spin. \nhttps://ubc.zoom.us/j/69443327772?pwd=TGhhTXFIQ3ZiUmNrN0pUa3FObTNydz09 \nMeeting ID: 694 4332 7772 Passcode: 996727 \n\nJoin in Person: \nUBC: MCLD 3038 \nSFU: WAC 7200 \nUVIC: ELL 226 \n\nTitle: \nScalable Quantum Computation With Spin \nAbstract: \nSpin in semiconductors have recently emerged as useful building blocks for solid-state quantum computation. Here I will describe my group’s research at UBC and QMI on development of components for scalable quantum computation with spin\, including magnetic-field compatible superconducting quantum limited amplifiers and converters\, and preliminary work on the design of a spin-based quantum transducer for building a quantum network.  After this\, I will turn to describing our efforts on developing a semiconductor quantum processor and simulator based on spins of quantum dots. I will conclude by briefly describing and a new collaborative multi-PI project at UBC and QMI on improving the scalability of control of quantum processors operating at cryogenic temperatures. \nBio: \nJoseph Salfi completed at PhD at the University of Toronto in 2011. From 2011 to 2015 he was a postdoctoral research fellow at at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and Centre for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T)\, the international epicentre for silicon-based quantum computation. In 2016\, he became junior faculty at the UNSW and CQC2T\, after being awarded the prestigios ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award. Today he is an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, and Department of Physics and Astronomy (by courtesy)\, and the lead Principal Investigator of the Grand Challenge in Quantum Computation at the Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (QMI) and Lead PI of the pan-Canadian Quantum Consortium on Quantum Simulation with Spin Qubits.  His experiemental and theoretical research has overturned > 10 years of conventional wisdom by showing that spin qubits with appreciable intrinsic spin-orbit coupling\, which make qubits easier to control interconnect electrically\, is compatible with ultra-long qubit coherence times.

SUMMARY:Quantum Photonics Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The NSERC CREATE Quantum BC program and CMC Microsystems bring you a workshop on the design\, fabrication\, and testing of quantum silicon photonic circuits used in quantum computer hardware. We invite you to join the workshop taking place in person at The University of British Columbia from May 25 to 29\, 2024. \nThe workshop will teach participants how to design\, simulate\, fabricate\, and test their own quantum silicon photonic circuits. Students will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of quantum optics and how photonics can be used for quantum computing\, and the types of problems that can be solved on photonic-based processors\, particularly with Xanadu’s cloud-accessed quantum processor. During the workshop\, students will practice creating a design and layout of a quantum silicon photonic circuit. Students will brainstorm and pitch their circuit ideas to researchers at leading universities and industry. After the workshop\, students will have several months to complete their design and submit their circuits for fabrication by a foundry (Applied Nanotools) facilitated by CMC. Participants will test their chips using equipment at their own university or by their own arrangements\, such as via a collaboration with the workshop instructors and/or visits to their facilities. \nThe focus of the workshop is on devices and circuits that can be fabricated in the chosen silicon photonics processes.  The processes are based on silicon wafers with a choice of either Si or SiN waveguides surrounded by silicon oxide cladding (SiNOI or SOI)\, metal heaters for phase shifters\, and a deep trench etch for edge coupling or photonic wire bond packaging to optical fibres. \n  \nhttps://www.cmc.ca/nserc-create-bc-cmc-quantum-photonics-workshop-2024/

SUMMARY:INTEGRATED QUANTUM PHOTONICS WITH FERROELECTRIC MATERIALS
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP ON FERROELECTRIC MATERIALS FOR SILICON PHOTONICS\n\n\n\n\nDATE: May 31\, 2024\, 9:00AM – 8:00PM (PT) \nLOCATION: University of British Columbia \nTARGET AUDIENCE: Researchers in silicon photonics\, integrated quantum photonics\, optical communications \n\n\n\n\nWorkshop objectives \nSilicon photonics has penetrated intra data center communications\, and long distance coherent communications. Silicon-based modulators have limits in performance scaling\, and addition of new materials should be considered to silicon processes in order to advance communications technologies\, and to enable next generation applications such as microwave signal processing\, quantum transduction\, quantum communications\, and quantum computing. The class of materials known as ferroelectrics (lithium niobate\, barium titanate\, and others) is identified as promising for all these applications. This workshop seeks to build a community which will solve challenges ranging from materials to high volume fabrication for commercial applications. \nOrganizers: Sudip Shekhar (UBC)\, Lukas Chrostowski (UBC)\, Rogerio de Sousa (UVic) \nTopics: \n\nThin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) and Barium titanate (BTO) overview\, applications\, fabrication\, commercialization\nPanel discussion: Needs\, candidates and compatibility for next generation modulators\nMaterial requirements for non-linear and quantum optics\nMaterial discovery targeting low optical loss\, strong non-linearity and strong electro-optic effects\nFabrication processes for co-integration with silicon photonics\n\nLab tours: \n\nVeeco Instruments GENxplor R&D Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) system\, for the growth of oxide thin films\, including ferroelectrics\nJEOL JBX-8100FS 100 keV Electron-beam lithography system\, capable of writing features as small as 5 nm on wafers up to 200 mm.\nVanguard Automation Sonata 1000\, for hybrid integration of photonic materials using Photonic Wire Bonds\n\n\nRegister Here
