5 statements about Superconducting Qubits, every show
Baratz credits Rob Schoelkopf with developing all superconducting qubits used today
“I mean, frankly, all of the superconducting qubits that are in use today across everybody building superconducting systems were developed by Rob Shulkoff, right? Transmine qubit.”
Baratz: Quantum Circuits' error-detecting superconducting qubits will win architecture race
“So we now have superconducting qubits that are a thousand times faster than trapped ion or neutral atom, but because of their inherent error detecting capability, they have qubit fidelity, just like trapped ion and neutral atom. Ah, that's the best of both wor…”
Rigetti: Only one or two groups had demonstrated superconducting qubits during PhD start
“When I started my PhD in I think there's one or two groups in the world that had ever built and demonstrated a superconducting qubit with a measurable coherence time.”
Benjamin: Trapped-ion qubits achieve 50-second to 10-minute coherence times
“So for the superconducting qubits that many researchers are excited, and we do do work on that here in Oxford as well the decay time, the amount of time that can go by before the wonderful zero one superposition just degrades, is the tiniest fraction of a seco…”
