DESCRIPTION:Shingo Kono\nPlease join us for the Junior Quantum Seminar 
 with Shingo Kono from the Laboratory of Photonic Integrated Circuits and
  Quantum Measurements at EPFL \, who will give the talk "Superconducting
  quantum technologies towards fault-tolerant quantum computing " on Tues
 day November 26. \nLocation: CE 1 104.\n\nBreakfast will be available be
 fore the seminar at 9:30. All PhDs\, postdocs and students are welcome to 
 join us.\n\nABTRACT:\n Superconducting quantum circuits represent a lead
 ing platform for large-scale quantum computing. Despite recent demonstrati
 ons of small sections of the surface code and claims of quantum supremacy\
 , scaling current technologies to achieve fault tolerance remains a signif
 icant challenge. In this talk\, I will introduce three distinct approaches
  to overcome the challenge. First\, I will present novel qubit control and
  readout schemes using advanced quantum filters\, which would offer power-
 efficient and scalable qubit operation protocols. Second\, I will discuss 
 our recent demonstrations of long-lived transmon qubits with > 0.5 ms\, al
 ong with the discovery of a new error mechanism caused by mechanical shock
 s. Finally\, I will introduce novel superconducting circuit optomechanics\
 , positioning it as a promising candidate for long-lived and scalable quan
 tum memory for superconducting quantum computing. \n\nBIO: \nShingo Kon
 o is currently a postdoctoral scholar at EPFL in the group of Tobias Kippe
 nberg from 2021. His current research focuses on superconducting quantum c
 ircuits including superconducting qubits\, circuit optomechanical devices\
 , and Josephson parametric amplifiers. He obtained his PhD at the Universi
 ty of Tokyo under the supervision of Yasunobu Nakamura in 2019\, working o
 n quantum measurement of itinerant microwave photons. Then\, he joined the
  Superconducting Quantum Electronics group led by Yasunobu Nakamura at RIK
 EN\, working on waveguide quantum electrodynamics until 2020. \n\n
