Did you know that qubits, the fundamental units of quantum information, can exist in multiple states simultaneously? This property enables quantum computers to perform complex calculations more efficiently than classical computers.

Engineering qubits involve manipulating materials at the atomic level to harness quantum mechanical properties for technological advancements.

At this Ask Me Anything, we will be discussing how researchers at Argonne engineer quantum bits.

We’ll be joined by Argonne National Laboratory’s Jessica Catharine Jones, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in thin film properties for quantum applications, and Ignas Masiulionis, a graduate student in quantum engineering focusing on developing materials to enhance quantum information distribution.

They’ll answer your questions and share insights into their cutting-edge research and the future of quantum technology.
