During this time of lockdown, the centre for quantum software and information (QSI) at the University of Technology Sydney has launched an online seminar series.  With talks once or twice a week from leading researchers in the field, meQuanics is supporting this series by mirroring the audio from each talk.  I would encourage if you listen to this episode, to visit and subscribe to the UTS:QSI YouTube page to see each of these talks with the associated slides to help it make more sense.

Silicon spin qubits gain traction for large-scale quantum computation and simulation.  

TITLE: A Scalable “Spins-Inside” Quantum Processor and Simulator SPEAKER: Prof Lieven Vandersypen 

AFFILIATION: QuTech, Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, Dept of Quantum Nanoscience, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands 

HOSTED BY: Dr JP (Juan Pablo) Dehollain, UTS Centre for Quantum Software and Information  

ABSTRACT:  Excellent control of over physical 50 qubits has been achieved, but can we also realize 50 fault-tolerant qubits? Here quantum bits encoded in the spin state of individual electrons in silicon quantum dot arrays have emerged as a highly promising avenue. In this talk, I will present our vision of a large-scale spin-based quantum processor, and our ongoing work to realize this vision. I will also show how the same platform offers a powerful platform for analog quantum simulation of Fermi-Hubbard physics and quantum magnetism.
