QSI - Northrop Grumman Special Seminar: Anthony Przybysz (Northrop Grumman)

TITLE: Research on Reciprocal Quantum Logic at Northrop Grumman

ABSTRACT:  At Northrop Grumman, we are defining possible at the bleeding edge of superconducting digital and quantum technology. Northrop Grumman has developed Reciprocal Quantum Logic (RQL), an extremely energy efficient superconducting logic family. I will provide an overview of RQL and describe how we use it to perform microwave-free universal control of superconducting dual-rail qubits.

BIO: Dr. Anthony Przybysz has been researching superconducting electronics for decades. After initial undergraduate research in superconducting analog-to-digital converters at Northrop Grumman Corporation, he completed his Ph. D. thesis on "Reducing Decoherence in Superconducting Phase Qubits" at University of Maryland in 2010. For the next two years, he developed superconducting on-chip flux storage digital-to-analog converters and quantum annealing processors at D-Wave Systems Inc. in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. He returned to the US in 2013 as a physicist at Northrop Grumman Corporation researching superconducting digital and quantum devices. He has held a range of positions at Northrop Grumman in test, design, and theoretical modeling and simulation of superconducting devices as an individual contributor, team lead, and community of practice lead. He is currently a Senior Staff Physicist working in support of multiple programs as a subject matter expert for the modeling and simulation of superconducting technologies.
