’s relevance in technology cases

The following cases cite their theories, methods or industry contributions; the historical basis does not mean that I directly participated in or invented modern products alone.

IBM Quantum System Two ↗

superconducting qubit is affected by coherence time, readout error and crosstalk; the algorithm circuit must adapt to the hardware topology and cooperate with classical calculations.

Quantinuum H2 ion trap quantum computer Interdisciplinary principle illustration of ↗

The internal energy level of the ion encodes the quantum state, and the laser control interacts with the moving mode to realize the gate operation; coherence, calibration and error processing determine the quality of the executable circuit.
