Walk through the entire process from a fabricated device to a functional quantum computer, focusing on qubit tune-up and the DiVincenzo criteria. Implement state preparation and measurement, single and two-qubit gates, and apply quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) techniques to diagnose and mitigate errors. Utilize quantum computer simulators and real quantum devices when available, leveraging current experimental data analysis methods to understand how to build scalable and reliable quantum systems. Knowledge of quantum mechanics \[such asPHYSICS 531] required. ### requirements text Graduate/professional standing ### credits min 3 ### credits max 3 ### credit offering ids * 1272:754:027103 ### llm job id enrich-8b774950c2b6adfdc46d1b82 ### llm output id 83a65cb20061571493ef22340b6990912288f639eb082ea369ebd434216e9f9c ### llm model nvidia/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-NVFP4 ### llm model revision 1355db6a052410cfd62085d94b58866fd0f2c3c5 ### llm task version 14 ### llm search status valid ### llm summary Explores quantum computer development using superconducting qubits, focusing on qubit tune-up, gate implementation, and QCVV error mitigation. ### llm topics * Superconducting qubits and DiVincenzo criteria. * State preparation, measurement, and quantum gates. * Quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV). ### llm skills * Implementing quantum gates and applying QCVV techniques for error diagnosis and mitigation. * Utilizing simulators and real devices with experimental data analysis methods. ### llm assumed background * Undergraduate quantum mechanics fundamentals including wave mechanics and particle properties. ### llm search phrases * quantum computer hardware * superconducting qubits * qubit tune-up * quantum characterization verification validation * QCVV * quantum error mitigation * DiVincenzo criteria * quantum state preparation * single two-qubit gates ### llm requirements status valid ### llm student summary status valid ### llm experience status insufficient\_evidence ### catalog variants None recorded. ### student summary #### context hash 1daf4ab669220f3c822d34ed27e06716c76def741b293f7a6ec10d7a0da81a17 #### course id PHYSICS 763 #### current instructors ```json [ { "instructor_uid": "instructor_fc03e5ca78dd62dc2f1b6028", "message": "No course-specific reviews available", "name": "Matthew Otten", "review_status": "no_course_reviews", "rmp_instructor_id": null, "summary": [ { "citations": [ { "course_id": "PHYSICS 763", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "section_number": 1, "source_course_id": "f84101d3-cb06-3321-94dc-ae60fbd80111", "source_record": { "entity_id": "f84101d3-cb06-3321-94dc-ae60fbd80111", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "section_grades_latest", "term_id": "1262", "type": "grade" } ], "text": "Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.64 GPA, 85.7% A/AB (n=35 letter grades)." } ] } ] ``` #### difficulty workload None recorded. #### errors None recorded. #### historical context None recorded. #### message No course-specific reviews available #### offered true #### profile hash 5cb4dabf887cdbcd8c00d5a1312e10828b95c63f30bc3ea76aea199565390d02 #### quick take Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 3.64 GPA, 85.7% A/AB (n=35 letter grades). ```json { "citations": [ { "course_id": "PHYSICS 763", "run_id": "20260907T155543-ce3781c4", "source_record": { "entity_id": "f84101d3-cb06-3321-94dc-ae60fbd80111", "file": "tables/observations.parquet", "kind": "grades", "source": "madgrades" }, "table": "grades_latest", "term_id": "1262", "type": "grade" } ] } ``` #### student experience None recorded. #### task hash 74fb0997943e888960bbc9e47db8c4fd12e4292d55c20509d8d89db6a9910f68 #### teaching history MATTHEW OTTEN is recorded teaching in Fall 2025.
