Quantum Hardware – Notes

Dilution Refrigerator, uses liquid helium
Absolute zero, optimal operating temp – 273 celcius

Top to bottom – different stages of cooling, filters, amplifiers

Sample holder holds quantum processor

CPU vs QPU

CPU – data/voltage/1’s 0’s flows through the gates (and, or, xor, etc.)
QPU – Data is on the chip, circuit is on the chip, pulses are sent to the chip 

chip created by lithography, metal deposition, all, oxide, etc.

Quantum Gates

Called block sphere
Pulses represent the gates.

Rotate qubit from ground state to 1
Example: Ex Pi rotation

Send another pulse, Pi/2

Quantum Entaglement

2 Qubits, and some interaction between them

When you entangle boxes, you can change probablities

CNOT = conditional not

Haddamard rotates to 0.5 (super position)

Easy problems
Factoring
3 coloring (really difficult)

Problem 1
Shows algorithm (finding factors of a number)

400 digit number

Problem 2
Understanding Molecules
Quantum Chemistry short term quantum solutions
Simulation of molecules

When quantum gets better:

Making Amonia process = Haber process
