RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Undergraduate Thesis: Principles of Superconducting Quantum Circuit

Jan '23 - Dec '23.

experience1

The main idea is to describe the state of the art of the quantum computing nowadays. Explain the main circuits and algorithms and the physical architectures with a focus in superconducting circuits. Explaining the main concepts such as Josephson Junction, circuit quantization, transmon qubit, transmon regime, dispersitve readout, one qubit gates and two qubits gates.

Quantum Programming Meentee

Quantum Open Source Fundation

Apr '23 - Jul '23.

experience4

In this mentorship, I study the impact of entanglement on quantum circuits optimization of the circuit. I found that taken into account the entanglement to interconnect the qubit increase the performance of the quantum circuit. Also, using Qiskit Metal, I implemented an NxN circuit chip design for superconducting circuits based on honey architecture.
