Measurements of the temperature distribution of quasiparticles in superconducting circuits reveal behavior that could inform strategies for mitigating quasiparticle-induced errors in superconducting qubits.
MIT graduate student Riyam Al-Msari and alumna Francisco Vasconcelos are recipients of the 2024 P.D. Soros Fellowships for New Americans. The fellowship provides funding for graduate studies to immigrants and the children of immigrants.
Six students with ties to MIT have been awarded fellowships by the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation: Jeffrey Brown, Liyam Chitayat, Vaibhav Mohanty, Sahil Pontula, Benjamin Spector, and Beatriz Yankelevich.
MIT researchers discovered squeezing noise over a broad frequency bandwidth could lead to faster quantum computing measurements.
Researchers developed a special type of amplifier that uses a technique known as squeezing to amplify quantum signals by a factor of 100 while reducing the noise that is inherent in quantum systems by an order of magnitude. Their device is the first to demonstrate squeezing over a broad frequency bandwidth of 1.75 gigahertz, nearly two orders of magnitude higher than other architectures.
