R7 LMAG Executive Teleconference - MONTHLY MEETING Agenda: Canada LMC Chair Comments MGA LMC Member Comments Introduction of new 2024 Canada LMC Chair - Dirk Werle Section Reports and Sharing Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/424544

Admission: Free. Refreshments and light snacks offered. Registration Required. Abstract When a power electronics application is discussed, the most important parts are topology and switches (Si MOSFETs or IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs or JFET, or GaN HEMTs). However every switch requires a gate driver, a power amplifier that receives a low-power input from a controller and produces a high-current driving output for the gate of high-power switches. There are different type drivers: non isolated, level shifted and isolated; one driver, half and full bridge drivers or three drivers in one package. Some gate drivers have protection features such as fast short-circuit protection (e.g. DESAT), active Miller clamp, shoot-through protection, shutdown, and overcurrent protection, which make them well-suited for both silicon and wide-bandgap power devices. Selection of proper driver is also important. In this seminar different types of gate drivers and parameters that need to be taken in account when selecting of a gate driver will be discussed.

Abstract: A crucial requirement for large-scale quantum information processing will be the development of modular quantum processors capable of transmitting quantum information between qubits housed at different nodes. In this talk, I will describe a strategy for generating “which-path” entanglement between a qubit and a light pulse .The resulting qubit—which-path entangled state can be used for distributing entanglement between nodes in a quantum network, or for achieving optimal quantum-enhanced phase estimation in an interferometer using phase sensitive (rather than photon-number-resolving) measurements . Finally, I will also describe strategies for performing long-range "flying-cat" parity checks of distant stationary qubits using conditional phase shifts on propagating light pulses . This could allow for the implementation of distributed fault-tolerant quantum computing, or for the measurement based preparation of entangled resource states for quantum communication protocols. Z.
