| Event Location: HENN 318 | Speaker: Daniel Amihud Lidar, University of Southern California
Abstract:
Superconducting transmon qubits are key to recent quantum computing advances. In this talk I will present our recent work on characterizing the noise afflicting transmon qubits beyond standard stochastic error models. I will then discuss quantum control methods to suppress this noise, aiming to improve gate fidelities and overall performance.
