Conductance of a proximitized nanowire in the Coulomb blockade regime 

<1 min read

  In this paper, which was just published in Physical Review B, a quantitative theory for the two-terminal conductance of a proximitized nanowire in the Coulomb blockade regime is developed. This theory allows one to understand and interpret the experimental data from the recent experiment by Charles Marcus’s group at Station Q Copenhagen that demonstrated Read more

LIQUi| for quantum computing 

<1 min read

  LIQUi|> is a software architecture and tool suite for quantum computing. It includes a programming language, optimization and scheduling algorithms, and quantum simulators. LIQUi|> can be used to translate a quantum algorithm written in the form of a high-level program into the low-level machine instructions for a quantum device. LIQUi|> is developed by the Read more

Exponential protection of zero modes in Majorana islands 

<1 min read

Quantum information theory has the potential to revolutionize computation, cryptography, and simulation of quantum systems. However, quantum states are fragile, and unwanted interactions with the environment destroy the information before it can be manipulated successfully. Now, a breakthrough experiment by researchers affiliated with Station Q Copenhagen has demonstrated a key property of Majorana zero modes Read more
