项目摘要

The NSF Convergence Accelerator supports use-inspired, team-based, multidisciplinary efforts that address challenges of national importance and will produce deliverables of value to society in the near future. This project seeks to develop approaches that address issues of decoherence and crosstalk by scalable topological superconductors (TSC). Investigation for achieving realistic large-scale quantum computers is required to advance the field of quantum information science. This project will integrate Majorana zero modes (MZMs) into conventional superconducting qubit architectures to advance their application to quantum computing. By having outreach programs towards K-12 students and research experiences for undergraduates, this project will broaden participation in quantum with a focus on underrepresented minorities. The project will build and establish a cross-sector team that will develop advances in controlling the topological nature of materials to advance quantum computing to deliver fault-tolerant qubits and their quantum interconnects. This project seeks (1) to understand and demonstrate the non-local topological nature of the MZMs by detecting the electron teleportation through a pair of MZMs; (2) to establish the basic elements for measuring the parity state in a teleportation-based T-qubit; (3) to explore flux quantization caused by a supercurrent loop that is mediated by the MZMs and set up the basic flux (or pseudo-spin) measurements of a T-qubit; (4) to identify and plan the Phase II research program, and (5) to build a strong team of academic, governmental lab, and industrial partners. Building on recent developments of a new TSC material platform, this project aims to demonstrate the quantum nature and the non-local topological protection of MZMs in the platform as well as build topological qubits that can be integrated into existing quantum computing circuitry. This may lead to greater functionality in superconducting circuits which can significantly advance topological quantum computing. The project deliverable includes a platform supporting topological qubit that is more robust and more scalable. By establishing a nationwide student exchange program and outreach activities to K-12 students, this project seeks to engage students in quantum research and training to broaden participation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF融合加速器支持以使用为灵感，以团队为基础，多学科的努力，以应对国家重要性的挑战，并将在不久的将来为社会提供有价值的成果。这个项目旨在开发解决可扩展拓扑超导体（TSC）的退相干和串扰问题的方法。为了推进量子信息科学领域的发展，需要研究实现现实的大规模量子计算机。该项目将把Majorana零模（MZM）集成到传统的超导量子位架构中，以推进它们在量子计算中的应用。通过对K-12学生和本科生的研究经验的推广计划，该项目将扩大参与量，重点是代表性不足的少数民族。该项目将建立一个跨部门团队，该团队将在控制材料的拓扑性质方面取得进展，以推进量子计算，从而提供容错量子位及其量子互连。本计画的目的是：（1）透过侦测电子透过一对MZM的隐形传态，了解并证明MZM的非定域拓扑性质;（2）建立测量基于隐形传态的T量子比特宇称态的基本元素;（3）探讨了由MZM介导的超电流环引起的磁通量子化，并建立了基本磁通（或伪自旋）测量T量子位;（4）确定和规划第二阶段研究计划，以及（5）建立一个强大的学术团队，政府实验室和工业合作伙伴。基于新TSC材料平台的最新发展，该项目旨在展示平台中MZM的量子性质和非局域拓扑保护，以及构建可集成到现有量子计算电路中的拓扑量子位。这可能导致超导电路中更大的功能，这可以显着推进拓扑量子计算。该项目可交付成果包括一个支持拓扑量子位的平台，该平台更强大，更具可扩展性。通过建立一个全国性的学生交流计划和K-12学生的推广活动，该项目旨在让学生参与量子研究和培训，以扩大参与度。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
