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]. [1] arXiv:1109.6735v1 [2] arXiv: 1110.5170v1 Host: Andreas Wallraff You are cordially invited.
