Dear all,

Please be informed about the Solid State Physics Seminar:

Date:            24. November 2011, 14:30h, in HPF G 6

Speaker:     Andreas Dewes, Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique, Quantronics Group, F-Saclay

Title:            Running Grover's Algorithm on a 2-Qubit Quantum Processor.

Abstract:
We operate a superconducting quantum processor consisting of two tunable
transmon qubits coupled by a swapping interaction, and equipped
with non destructive single-shot readout of the two qubits [1]. With this
processor, we run the Grover search algorithm among four objects and
find that the correct answer is retrieved after a single run with a success
probability between 0.52 and 0.67, significantly larger than the 0.25
achieved with a classical algorithm. This constitutes a proof-of-concept
for the quantum speed-up of electrical quantum processors [2].
