This three-year, $284,063 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will support research into advances in quantum control and noise mitigation using a highly accurate quantum testbed. The University of Arizona, operating through the Arizona Board of Regents, will lead collaborative experimental and theoretical work to develop new techniques for quantum control and shielding quantum devices from noise.
Researchers will employ a small, highly accurate quantum processor based on cesium atom spin states. With quantum optimal control, this processor is programmable within a 16-dimensional Hilbert space, allowing arbitrary state preparations, unitary maps, and measurements. Planned upgrades aim to increase both the accuracy and duration of quantum simulations. Key research thrusts include simulating deep quantum circuits and Floquet systems, studying the role of quantum chaos in error proliferation, noise tailoring techniques, and investigating Floquet time crystals in theory and experiment. Insights gained from this testbed are intended to accelerate the application of quantum technologies in science and engineering.
