Xi Cao is an experimentist works in the field of superconducting quantum information processing. He is interested in parametric amplifiers, superconducting qubit control and readout. Specifically, his research focuses on:

1. Using two-mode squeezed light that travel down both arms of an interferometer to readout the qubit in order to achieve a measurement that has high Signal-to-Noise ratio than the conventional coherent light readout.
2. Create a controllable thermal bath for a qubit by parametrically coupling it to another lossy mode.
