Advances in materials science and engineering have played a central role in the
development of classical computers and will undoubtedly be critical in propelling the …

Quantum computers have made extraordinary progress over the past decade, and
significant milestones have been achieved along the path of pursuing universal fault-tolerant …

Practical quantum computing will require error rates well below those achievable with
physical qubits. Quantum error correction, offers a path to algorithmically relevant error rates …

Quantum error correction (QEC) provides a practical path to fault-tolerant quantum
computing through scaling to large qubit numbers, assuming that physical errors are …

Identifying, quantifying, and suppressing decoherence mechanisms in qubits are important
steps towards the goal of engineering a quantum computer or simulator. Superconducting …

Current state-of-the-art superconducting microwave qubits are cooled to extremely low
temperatures to avoid sources of decoherence. Higher qubit operating temperatures would …

Error-corrected quantum computers can only work if errors are small and uncorrelated. Here,
I show how cosmic rays or stray background radiation affects superconducting qubits by …

Superconducting qubit lifetimes must be both long and stable to provide an adequate
foundation for quantum computing. This stability is imperiled by two-level systems (TLSs) …

Quantum error correction can preserve quantum information in the presence of local errors,
but correlated errors are fatal. For superconducting qubits, high-energy particle impacts from …
