Join Berkeley Nucleonics where Junior Choe, RF/Microwave Sr. Product Manager, discusses quantum computing technologies and real-time demonstrations using the Model 685 AWG. We are also joined by special guests Active Technologies and the University of Modena, Italy exploring the following topics:
- Baseband Waveforms/Signals to Manipulate Qubits
- Bloch Sphere - (north pole |0⟩ state, south pole |1⟩ state)
- Qubit Isoltaion (thermal and electromagnetic)
- IQ / Superconducting Qubits
- When to use a Chirp Pulse / Chirp Sequence
- Significance of Phase Coherence / Phase Decoupling / Phase Decoherence
- Q&A
