Confirmed Special Session: Quantum Computing on Silicon
Quantum algorithms bear as a gift the promise of solving mathematical-physical problems hard challenging the classical algorithms. To run efficiently, this quantum software needs quantum hardware. For its fabrication the information technology big players, as IBM, Intel, Google, are betting on the superconducting qubit and the electron-spin qubit. A quantum microprocessor needs to host several millions of qubits, to outperform a classical one. Unlike the case of the billions of transistors packed in this latter, the qubits should be individually addressable. A challenge at the engineering endeavour limits, for which the actual CMOS microelectronics technology is estimated the rightest way.
This Special Session of the MicDAT 2020 International Conference focus on the multi-facets aspects of the quantum microprocessor engineering as the quantum microprocessor architectures, the integrated circuits for addressing, manipulating, and reading out the qubits, the cryogenic modelling of devices and circuits, the CAD modelling of the qubit.
