This week, we will be joined by Abe Asfaw (@abe_asfaw) (he/him). Abe is completing his PhD at Princeton University focusing on experimental quantum computation. His research has three focus areas: stabilizing magnetic fields for quantum computers based on electron spins, pulsed electron spin resonance experiments using superconducting resonators fabricated from materials with high kinetic inductance, and transport measurements of electrons floating on shallow superfluid helium. He also serves on the board of the Ethiopian Physics Society in North America, with the goal of promoting physics education and research among Ethiopians in Ethiopia and North America.
Here is a link to the demo. Abe got the results back from the quantum computer, so you can see how the quantum computer gave us back results.
