Research summary
AI-generated

Candice Thomas works on experimental quantum computing hardware, focusing on quantum dots, superconducting circuits, and the 3D packaging and interconnect technology needed to control and scale these systems. Recent work includes building 'Kitaev chains' from linked quantum dots (a way to explore topological states that could be useful for more error-resistant qubits) and developing superconducting chip-to-chip connections and control electronics that operate at extremely cold temperatures. This research sits at the intersection of physics and engineering, aiming to make quantum computers more practical to build and control.
