Title: "On How We Are Building a Quantum Computer"

Abstract:

"On How We Are Building a Quantum Computer" is a work in progress using photonics to exploit quantum parallelism via superposition. We use photonic coincidence detection to generate photon superposition. We capture the heralded superposed photon with a fast Pockels cell from the entangled signal into a mildly doped ytterbium fiber delay loop. At this point there are options to treat the photons as experimental wave packets for redundant error correcting residue arithmetic.
