Quantum Coding with Nathan Earnest-Noble

During the live stream quantum coding session, Nate will be presenting about the quantum hardware that IBM has made available through the cloud and how one can use microwave pulses to program the hardware. Specifically he will discuss the way one can make a superconducting qubit, and how this qubit can be coupled to resonator to readout the quantum states. He will then answer questions for related to the discussion, followed by a live demo using OpenPulse to calibrate the readout of a superconducting qubit.

Are you related to Don and Gretel Earnest?

The action of the transmon element reading the value of the qubit state; is that the quantum collapse event?

[lindavid]

If the devices which contain the qubits are separated from other devices how does quantum entanglement occur? I thought the entangled state could only be achieved by bringing two or more particles very close together (physically)?

[aldente]

are there any advantages to having flux qbits instead of charge?
