These days, a lot of groups are trying to fabricate small sized quantum circuits with tens of qubits, and some useful algorithms to use them are proposed. To make the best of such circuits, we have to suppress the noise in the quantum circuits and we have proposed useful error suppression methods, without using conventional fault tolerant error correction techniques.

I am a third year DPhil student. I am working on error mitigation of short depth circuit, and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms.
A quantum error-correcting code is a central piece of fault-tolerant quantum computation that is required to realise large-scale quantum algorithms. Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art codes with the best parameters that require the least overheads do not Read more…
The most promising class of algorithms for near-term quantum computers are variational quantum algorithms (VQAs), where a parametrised circuit of quantum gates calculates some cost function, which is then optimised to produce the solution to Read more…
A promising approach to build a scalable quantum computer is to manufacture a large array of qubits on a chip. This is common to several hardware architectures including superconducting qubits and spin-qubits in silicon. The Read more…
