One of the most important and topical challenges of quantum circuits is their scalability. Rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) technology is at the forefront of replacing current standard CMOS-based control architectures for a number of applications, including quantum computing and quantum sensor arrays. By condensing the control and readout to single-flux-quantum-based on-chip devices that are […]
Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS)-based computing promises drastic improvement in performance at extremely low temperatures (e.g., 77 K, 10 K). The field of extremely low temperature CMOS-environment-based computing holds the promise of delivering remarkable enhancements in both performance and power consumption. Static random access memory (SRAM) plays a major role in determining the performance and efficiency of […]
Quantum dots (QDs) must be tuned precisely to provide a suitable basis for quantum computation. A scalable platform for quantum computing can only be achieved by fully automating the tuning process. One crucial step is to trap the appropriate number of electrons in the QDs, typically accomplished by analyzing charge stability diagrams (CSDs). Training and […]
Sapphire substrates have recently been recognized for their potential to improve the coherence time of superconducting qubits. However, due to challenges in via fabrication, silicon substrates have been predominantly used for qubits. In this study, we fabricated vias on sapphire substrates using lasers and deposited TiN films by chemical vapor deposition. Cross-sectional views of the […]
Quantum processors based on color centers in diamond are promising candidates for future large-scale quantum computers thanks to their flexible optical interface, (relatively) high operating temperature, and high-fidelity operation. Similar to other quantum computing platforms, the electrical interface required to control and read out such qubits may limit both the performance of the whole system […]
As scaling becomes a key issue for large-scale quantum computing, hardware control systems will become increasingly costly in resources. This article presents a compact direct digital synthesis architecture for signal generation adapted for spin qubits that is scalable in terms of waveform accuracy and the number of synchronized channels. The architecture can produce programmable combinations […]
The structured matrix completion problem (SMCP) is ubiquitous in several signal processing applications. In this article, we consider a fixed pattern, namely, the Hankel-structure for the SMCP under quantum formalism. By exploiting its structure, a lower-gate-complexity quantum circuit realization of a Hankel system is demonstrated. Further, we propose a quantum simulation algorithm for the Hankel-structured […]
Toeplitz matrix reconstruction algorithms (TMRAs) are one of the central subroutines in array processing for wireless communication applications. The classical TMRAs have shown excellent accuracy in the spectral estimation for both uncorrelated and coherence sources in the recent era. However, TMRAs incorporate the classical eigenvalue decomposition technique for estimating the eigenvalues of the Toeplitz-structured covariance […]
We present a novel derivation and implementation of the finite-difference method (FDM) that is gauge invariant and incorporates spin–orbit coupling for the study of quantum systems. This version of FDM is meant to assist in the design and simulation of quantum devices that utilize multiple internal degrees of freedom (e.g., spin) by providing a way […]
Large-scale quantum information processing requires the use of quantum error-correcting codes to mitigate the effects of noise in quantum devices. Topological error-correcting codes, such as surface codes, are promising candidates, as they can be implemented using only local interactions in a 2-D array of physical qubits. Procedures, such as defect braiding and lattice surgery, can […]
