Research Summary
Dr. Oliver works with the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group at Lincoln Laboratory and the Engineering Quantum Systems Group at MIT, where he provides programmatic and technical leadership for programs related to the development of quantum and classical high-performance computing technologies for quantum information science applications. His interests include the materials growth, fabrication, design, and measurement of superconducting qubits, as well as the development of cryogenic packaging and control electronics involving cryogenic CMOS and single-flux quantum digital logic.
Dr. Oliver has published more than 60 journal articles and 7 book chapters, is an active seminar lecturer, and is the inventor or co-inventor on several patents. He has supervised and participated on the dissertation committees for several undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and habilitation candidates. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society; serves on the U.S. Committee for Superconducting Electronics; is an IEEE Superconductivity Conference (ASC) Board Member; and is a member of IEEE, the American Physical Society, Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, and Tau Beta Pi. In 2013, he was a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science visiting researcher at the University of Tokyo.

Introduction to Quantum Computing
In this talk, we will introduce quantum computing. Quantum computers are fundamentally different than conventional computers. They promise to solve important problems that are practically prohibitive and even impossible to implement using today’s supercomputers. The challenge is building one that is large enough to be useful. We will review the state-of-the-art today, discuss the path forward, and highlight the MIT Center for Quantum Engineering and the role it will play in helping to define the quantum future.
