Project Overview

Qubits are a necessary component of almost all quantum technologies. Despite great efforts, not all the properties and behaviors of the presently known qubits are understood. Furthermore, various quantum technologies require novel solutions; thus, new qubit designs should be explored. These issues call for developing ab initio methods that accurately yield the key parameters of qubits and vastly accelerate the identification of novel ones for a target quantum technology application. We aim to create a macroscopic design that could be used as a quantum ion junction trap proof of concept.
