Beschreibung

Explore the intersection of computer science, physics, and electrical and computer engineering with this discussion of the engineering of quantum computers In Principles of Superconducting Quantum Computers, a pair of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive and insightful discussion of the building of quantum computing hardware and systems. Bridging the gaps between computer science, physics, and electrical and computer engineering, the book focuses on the engineering topics of devices, circuits, control, and error correction. Using data from actual quantum computers, the authors illustrate critical concepts from quantum computing. Questions and problems at the end of each chapter assist students with learning and retention, while the text offers descriptions of fundamentals concepts ranging from the physics of gates to quantum error correction techniques. The authors provide efficient implementations of classical computations, and the book comes complete with a solutions manual and demonstrations of many of the concepts discussed within. It also includes: * A thorough introduction to qubits, gates, and circuits, including unitary transformations, single qubit gates, and controlled (two qubit) gates * Comprehensive explorations of the physics of single qubit gates, including the requirements for a quantum computer, rotations, two-state systems, and Rabi oscillations * Practical discussions of the physics of two qubit gates, including tunable qubits, SWAP gates, controlled-NOT gates, and fixed frequency qubits * In-depth examinations of superconducting quantum computer systems, including the need for cryogenic temperatures, transmission lines, S parameters, and more Ideal for senior-level undergraduate and graduate students in electrical and computer engineering programs, Principles of Superconducting Quantum Computers also deserves a place in the libraries of practicing engineers seeking a better understanding of quantum computer systems.

Preface

Over the past several years progress in quantum computing technology and algorithms has accelerated rapidly. We believe that Electrical and Computer Engineers have much to contribute to this work, and one of the goals of this book is to help introduce those with ECE backgrounds to this exciting area.

Our interest in quantum computing was initiated by the discussions between NC State and IBM about establishing the IBM Quantum Hub at NC State, and began in earnest in the spring of 2018. During this semester we both sat in on a Computer Science special topics seminar led by professors Frank Mueller and Patrick Dreher. This led to a joint CSC/ ECE special topics course on quantum computing in the fall of 2018 that was team-taught by professors Mueller and Dreher along with one of us (GTB).

As we have delved more deeply into quantum computing over the past several years, we have discovered that most of the rapidly-growing literature is addressed to those with backgrounds in physics, mathematics, and/or computer science, and often assumes a body of shared prerequisite knowledge and terminology that is not typical for Electrical and Computer Engineers. Electrical Engineers studying semiconductor physics do study quantum mechanics, but from a very different perspective. Band theory, effective mass, tunneling, and perhaps the hydrogen atom are covered, but quantum computing involves 2-level systems, state vectors and rotations, Hamiltonians, and unitary operators—topics not normally emphasized in device physics courses. Further, there is very little available in the current introductory literature explaining how the systems operate.

Just as semiconductor physics became a standard component of electrical engineering curricula beginning in the early 1960s, we believe that quantum computing will become integral parts of ECE curricula in the coming decades. The span of ECE covers the entire range of technologies underpinning quantum computing, including device physics and modeling, nanofabrication, RF and optical systems, signal processing, information theory, error correction and coding, transpilers and compilers, system architecture, and algorithms and applications.

At the time of this writing, there are competing technologies for the implementation of quantum computing, including trapped ions, quantum dots, topological structures, and artificial atoms made with superconducting devices. While we believe Electrical and Computer Engineers will be critical to the development of all of these systems, we have chosen in this volume to concentrate on superconducting technologies relying on Josephson junction transmons.

The intended audience is advanced undergraduate students and first-year graduate students in Electrical and Computer engineering. In presenting topics, we have tried to bridge the gaps that we have encountered between the prevailing literature and the backgrounds of Electrical and Computer engineers.

We offer this work not as an exposition by authorities, but rather as an introduction by technological “pilgrims” hoping to help other “pilgrims” along this exciting journey.
