Quantum control

With great power comes great fidelity

Nature Physics volume 18, pages 1396–1397 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

Many quantum applications require the careful preparation of quantum harmonic oscillators. The combination of a high-power microwave drive and weak nonlinearity enables fast control of such systems, with implications for quantum computing and metrology.
