Birck Seminar Series: Exploring Synthetic Quantum Matter with Superconducting Circuits: How to Control and Probe Quantum Correlations using Dissipation

Join Alex Ruichao Ma from the Department of Physics and Astronomy as he presents recent experiments to both control and probe collective quantum behavior in such systems. He will first show how engineered interactions with the environment can be harnessed to autonomously create and stabilize entangled states. He will then introduce new methods we developed to probe these synthetic materials, including in-situ measurements of quantum transport and tunneling spectroscopy. Together, these results open new possibilities for creating, manipulating, and observing complex quantum phases and dynamics in the laboratory.
