CQT Webinars Series on Quantum Computation and Quantum Simulation

Title: Qiskit Pulse: Programming Quantum Computers Through the Cloud with Pulses
Date/Time: 17-Jul, 09:00AM
Venue: Online via zoom

Abstract: 
Qiskit is IBM’s open source framework for quantum computing, and Qiskit Pulse provides pulse-level control of deployed quantum computers over the cloud. In this talk, I will overview the control and measurement of superconducting transmon qubits with microwave pulses, programming such pulses with Qiskit Pulse, and the calibration and benchmarking of them. Finally, we’ll summarize some recent applications of Qiskit Pulse, including error mitigation, qubit measurement discrimination, and reduction of leakage outside the computational subspace.

Speaker: Nicholas Bronn, IBM 

Organizer and Host: CQT Principal Investigator Dimitris G. Angelakis

CQT Online Talk by Alexander Ling, CQT and Department of Physics, NUS

Title: SpooQy Action at a Distance - Measuring entanglement generation onboard a nano-satellite.
Date/Time: 16-Jul, 04:00PM
Venue: Online via zoom

Abstract:
Global quantum communication networks can be more easily achieved if there are space-based nodes for transmitting, receiving and forwarding. The Micius program has shown that such space nodes can operate from space. In this talk, I will discuss how constellations of quantum satellites can be built using smaller spacecraft. As an example, I will describe our recent results onboard the SpooQy-1 nano-satellite, and how the environmental challenges can be overcome. In this talk, I will also review some notable efforts around the world to start testing quantum technologies in space.

CQT-SGInnovate Event

Title: The Asia Race for Quantum Computing 
Date/Time: 14-Jul, 11:00AM
Venue: Online Event

Abstract:
A new era of computing beckons – as different from today’s computing as computers are from the abacus. That’s the viewpoint of one of the experts joining this panel discussion on Quantum Computing. The exciting technology promises new efficiency and capabilities in fields from pharmaceuticals to finance. Hear from and put your questions to an industry leader, an academic and a technology journalist who has reported on initiatives in Quantum Computing across the Asian region.

Billions are being invested in the Quantum Computing realm across the globe by Venture Capital firms, technology giants and governments to develop both technology and talent. With a focus on what’s happening in Asia, this panel will look at the race to get commercial value from quantum computers.
