CQT Online Talks – Series: Quantum computation and simulation

Speaker: Nicholas Bronn, IBM
Abstract: Qiskit is IBM’s open source framework for quantum computing, and Qiskit Pulse provides pulselevel control of deployed quantum computers over the cloud. In this talk, I will overview the control and measurement of superconducting transmon qubits with microwave pulses, programming such pulses with Qiskit Pulse, and the calibration and benchmarking of them. Finally, we’ll summarize some recent applications of Qiskit Pulse, including error mitigation, qubit measurement discrimination, and reduction of leakage outside the computational subspace.
