Xi Cao

Xi Cao is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois, specializing in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics. Their work intersects quantum information science and superconducting circuit design, focusing on microwave quantum state manipulation and entanglement protocols.

Recent research emphasizes superconducting qubit interfacing, with 2025 publications on quantum network architectures and magnon sensing. Key contributions include chiral waveguide quantum electrodynamics for noise-resilient entanglement (2024) and three-wave mixing bath engineering for transmon qubits. Their 2023-2024 studies established foundational protocols for inter-chip quantum links and sub-harmonic qubit control.

Their publications demonstrate expertise in microwave quantum optics and parametric amplification, with applications in quantum computing and sensing. Experimental work on Josephson junction devices (2020-2022) explored squeezed light for qubit readout and frequency-comb synthesis, while recent 2025 studies target scalable quantum networking solutions.
