Research Title: Incorporating Multi-Qubit Interactions in Self-consistent Semi-classical Methods for Superconducting Quantum Architectures

Research description: Quantum computers are a revolutionary technology that promises to achieve an unprecedented level of performance boost over traditional computers. While this technology has made great strides in achieving the so-called “quantum advantage” there are significant engineering challenges that must be resolved before these systems can be used for practical applications. Chief among these challenges is the need to substantially scale the number of quantum bits (qubits) while improving performance by increasing qubit coherence and enhancing the speed and fidelity of qubit control and measurement. High-fidelity numerical methods are increasingly being used to address these challenges, but existing approaches are highly inefficient and become impractical if even a few qubits are considered. This work aims to incorporate multi-qubit interactions into a more efficient modeling framework, known as self-consistent semi-classical modeling methods. This will enable this numerical method to model entanglement produced by quantum gates, enabling designers to better optimize their speed and fidelity. These methods can also model and help correct for quantum crosstalk due to unintentional qubit-qubit coupling, which is a key obstacle for robust quantum computing.
