Blurb:
The UMass+ Trapped Ions and Photonics lab develops integrated technologies like photonics for trapped ion QPUs. Developing trapped ion QPUs with integrated photonics may enable the next generation of quantum hardware towards large scale quantum computers and portable operation of quantum sensors like optical clocks.
Sponsors: NSF
Curriculum:
ECE 550/650 - Intro to Quantum Computing
Quantum Optics → Qubits → Quantum Algorithms
Introduction to quantum computing starts with a basis in quantum optics using the Mach Zehnder Interferometer as a foundation. We then survey various qubit technology modalities such as trapped ions, photonics and Transmons as well as sources of decoherence for each. In weekly Python labs students program simulations of single qubit operations such as Rabi and Ramsey pulse sequences as well as two qubit manipulations for Bell state generation to construct quantum circuits from fundamental quantum mechanical interactions. Finally, these labs will culminate in programming simulations of quantum algorithms by Grover and Shor using quantum computing Python libraries such as Qiskit and QuTiP and executing them on the cloud with real quantum computers.
