Jerry M. Chow is a
physicist who conducts research in
quantum information processing. He has worked as the manager of the Experimental Quantum Computing group at the
IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in
Yorktown Heights, New York since 2014 and is the primary investigator of the IBM team for the
IARPA ''Multi-Qubit Coherent Operations'' and ''Logical Qubits'' programs.
After graduating
magna cum laude
Latin honors are a system of Latin phrases used in some colleges and universities to indicate the level of distinction with which an academic degree has been earned. The system is primarily used in the United States. It is also used in some So ...

Robert J. Schoelkopf
Robert J. Schoelkopf III (born January 24, 1964) is an American physicist, most noted for his work on quantum computing as one of the inventors of superconducting qubits. Schoelkopf's main research areas are quantum transport, single-electron d ...

bus
A bus (contracted from omnibus, with variants multibus, motorbus, autobus, etc.) is a road vehicle that carries significantly more passengers than an average car or van. It is most commonly used in public transport, but is also in use for cha ...
for the first time and two-
qubit algorithms were executed on a superconducting quantum processor.
His work at IBM has led to the publication of findings related to the characterization of a universal set of all-
microwave gates that can be executed on two
transmon qubits, as well as the implementation of a subsection of a
surface code fault-tolerant superconducting quantum computing architecture. His leadership at IBM has led to progress being made in
quantum error correction
Quantum error correction (QEC) is used in quantum computing to protect quantum information from errors due to decoherence and other quantum noise. Quantum error correction is theorised as essential to achieve fault tolerant quantum computing that ...
