Leti proposes FD-SOI spin qubit platform for quantum computing

A paper from CEA-Leti called  “A new FD-SOI spin qubit platform with 40nm effective control pitch”, notes that operating Si quantum dot (QD) arrays requires homogeneous and ultra-dense structures with aggressive gate pitch. Such a density is necessary to separately control the quantum dots’ chemical potential, i.e. the charge occupation of each dot, from the ...

How to build a quantum computer

Building a large-scale physical quantum computer is challenging. When scaling up qubits, wiring diagrams get increasingly complicated. Bogdan Govoreanu, quantum computing program manager at Imec, has shown  a smart way of interconnecting neighboring silicon qubits in a 2D bilinear array. This architecture tackles the qubit connectivity problem and is a potential pathway for realising a ...
