Zihuai is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Alp Sipahigil’s group, working on hybrid quantum systems based on solid state defects and superconducting circuits. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering in 2022 from Princeton University, where he worked on engineering coherent quantum defects in diamond in the lab of Prof. Nathalie de Leon. He received his B.S. in physics in 2016 from the University of Science and Technology of China.
Research
Silicon is a promising platform for quantum technologies, as silicon hosts a variety of spin qubits and is a high quality substrate for superconducting circuits. Combining strengths of both spin qubits in silicon and superconducting devices on silicon in a hybrid quantum system will lead to further advancements in silicon based photonic, microwave, and phononic systems.
