Chow develops superconducting quantum-computing hardware, with experimental contributions to microwave entangling gates and parity measurements that connect individual qubits to error-correction architectures.
IBM ResearcharXiv / Physical Review LettersNature CommunicationsChow’s work follows the engineering path from controlling two qubits to coordinating the operations needed by a protected quantum computer. A microwave entangling-gate experiment demonstrated interaction between fixed-frequency superconducting qubits. A later parity-detection experiment used a third qubit to measure shared information about two data qubits, an operation needed in error-correcting architectures. These results are specific, coauthored steps toward scalable systems. His IBM role also concerns integration with classical computing, connecting quantum hardware with the systems that coordinate it.

A microwave-driven entangling gate
Chow and collaborators demonstrated an all-microwave two-qubit gate between fixed-frequency superconducting qubits. The experiment generated entanglement through a drive at the other qubit’s transition frequency, offering a route to interaction without changing the qubits’ operating frequencies.
Jerry M. Chow was first author of the collaborative superconducting-qubit gate experiment.

Measuring parity as a computing building block
Chow and collaborators demonstrated parity detection of two code qubits by measuring a third syndrome qubit. The experiment and its tomography connected superconducting-qubit control to the repeated information extraction needed in surface-code-style architectures; it did not constitute a complete fault-tolerant computer.
Jerry M. Chow was first author and co-designed the experiment with Jay M. Gambetta; the article credits distinct device, hardware and analysis work to the wider team.
