Abstract:
Analog and hybrid digital-analog quantum simulation with superconducting qubits offer a promising path toward near-term quantum advantage by minimizing hardware overhead compared to fully digital, gate-based, approaches. While much of the academic focus in quantum simulation has been on 1D qubit arrays due to their relative ease of fabrication, their dynamics are often analytically solvable. To go beyond these limitations, we leverage 3D integrated fabrication technology to explore richer physics in 2D lattices of transmon qubits.
