Yet\, it is still early in the development of these systems\, as we have just reached the point at w hich laboratory experiments have shown that quantum computers can outperfo rm classical computers at certain computational tasks. As such\, it is an exciting time in the field\, analogous to the early days of classical comp uter development. As microwave engineers there is a tremendous opportunity to contribute to quantum computing\, as the control and measurement of mo st quantum processors is carried-out using microwave techniques. In this t alk\, I will describe the use of microwaves in quantum computing\, with a focus on the superconducting qubit technology which was used to show that a quantum computer is capable of post-classical computation. The talk will be geared toward microwave engineers with no background in quantum comput ing and will provide a glimpse into the fundamentals\, contemporary system architectures\, recent experiments\, and\, finally\, major microwave chal lenges that must be overcome if fault tolerant quantum computing is to bec ome a reality. While the “quantum” aspects of quantum computing will b e described\, the deeper technical discussion will focus on the specificat ion and design of the microwave control and measurement systems required t o operate these systems\, using Google’s state-of-the-art Sycamore quant um computer as an example. Ongoing research in scalable control and measur ement electronics will also be described.\n\nBio: received the PhD degree in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology in 2 009. In 2010\, he joined the department of Electrical and Computer Enginee ring at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, where he is currently a Full Professor. His research group currently focuses on low temperature in tegrated circuits with applications in radio astronomy and the quantum inf ormation sciences. In 2017\, he joined the Google AI Quantum team as a vis iting faculty researcher and\, in addition to his university appointment\, he currently leads Google’s efforts to develop electronics for their cu rrent and future quantum computers.
