Summary
Building a mechanical quantum memory from superfluid helium. This project aims to implement a quantum computer memory module which can be integrated in a future hybrid quantum computer, where the advantages of different quantum platforms are combined. The memory module will be achieved by coupling a superconducting qubit to the surface vibrations of superfluid helium and exchanging quantum information between the qubit and helium.

This project aims to implement a quantum computer memory module which can be integrated in a future hybrid quantum computer, where the advantages of different quantum platforms are combined. The memory module will be achieved by coupling a superconducting qubit to the surface vibrations of superfluid helium and exchanging quantum information between the qubit and helium. By simulating chemical reactions, the project expects to find cleaner alternatives of current industrial processes, reducing environmental impact. The outcomes should provide significant benefits for testing the validity of quantum mechanics, and by contributing to the realisation of a quantum computer, contribute to broad socio-economic benefits.Read moreRead less
