Abstract: Hardware platforms based on native continuous-variable (CV, oscillator) systems have attracted growing attention as an alternative to discrete-variable (DV, qubit) quantum systems. In this talk, I will highlight how hybrid CV-DV hardware offers a powerful computational paradigm by combining the complementary strengths of both CV and DV processors. I will present novel quantum control techniques and algorithms for CV-DV systems that enable new opportunities and applications in quantum error correction, quantum simulation, and quantum sensing. I will also highlight software tools for benchmarking and compiling these novel processors.
