Earlier today, I along with the IBM Quantum team had the privilege of meeting President @JoeBiden to discuss our Quantum Data Center in Poughkeepsie, NY as well as showing him our latest 433-qubit Osprey quantum processor.

Fresh off the press -- a new article by my previous colleague Genny Plant at U. Michigan showing that natural gas flaring is much less effective at reducing methane emission than previously assumed

A review article on materials for quantum hardware is published in @ScienceMagazine describing the current understanding and limitations on materials for five quantum computing platforms, and what's next for materials research for quantum computing. (1/5) https://t.co/fuKS9fbXS4

This year, we have 40+ IBM Quantum (or with collaborators) talks at #APSMarch. We've got really exciting work we will be discussing all throughout the stack, from qubit devices and hardware, experiments on systems, benchmarking, error correction, applications, and software.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science #WomenInScience! I wanted to share photos of some #WomenInSTEM who impact my life. If I listed them all, this thread would be almost never ending. My colleagues @MCLampaSays @sruthi_viswam @NiamhTalking90 @jenmehltretter

Our new paper on laser-annealing of transmon qubits: https://t.co/miJiwdUYAB

Expanding upon our prior work, we look at the precision of our laser-tuning method, and how it helps mitigate frequency crowding for high-performance quantum processors

[Eric J. Zhang @ericjzhang]

We started this some time ago (back in 2015) when we first thought of adaptive spectral cleanup, which particularly useful for integrated waveguide sensors due to stochastic line-edge roughness.

Progress has been fun, and hopefully more to come!

[Eric J. Zhang @ericjzhang]

Here's our latest paper on mitigating optical fringing in integrated photonic sensors:

By progressively increasing denoising resolution (green to purple), we're able to accurately resolve methane release above our 10cm silicon waveguide sensor.

This work follows some of our recent experimental results on thermal fringe stabilization:

Where fringe drifts act as a proxy for chip temperature, and can be actively stabilized to improve sensor stability.

Had loads of fun with these fantastic young scientists at OSA Student Leadership! What a diverse group 💪

NASA’s Lee Feinberg on completing the construction of the James Webb Space Telescope! #JWST

[Eric J. Zhang @ericjzhang]

Back in DC! Looking forward to a fun weekend of the @OpticalSociety #StudentLeadership Conference. 200 student delegates in attendance this year 💪

[Eric J. Zhang @ericjzhang]

My previous research groupmate, Genny Plant from @EPrinceton just published a nice article on the significant underestimation of #MethaneEmissions in urban areas so far, using airborne data gathered over six east-coast cities. Cool stuff!

[Eric J. Zhang @ericjzhang]

Check out the featured article based on our work @IBMResearch just published in @TheIET Electronics Letters. We've been working on adaptive denoising algorithms for #integratedphotonics sensors!

Just released our deployment paper from the @CSUEnergy METEC facility, performing source attribution of #methane emissions: https://t.co/6vsD3n3ATL. And a photo perfectly timed with a pained smile when my TEC underwent accidental shut-off and the laser housing shot over 100 C

Late post but better late than never! Had tons of #OSAAmbassador fun with the speakers, students and @OpticalSociety folks touring Fuzimiao during #OSAIONS Nanjing. Thanks for the great time and great food! #ScientistsWhoSelfie

[Eric J. Zhang @ericjzhang]

Awesome trip to @OpticalSociety IONS Nanjing on my first international trip as #OSAAmbassador. Thanks to the organizers @NanjingUnivers1 and it was great meeting students and faculty for technical and #CareerDevelopment talks! Looking forward to coming back in the future 👍
