Abstract: Microsoft and University of Sydney Study Signals for Controlling Scaled Qubits – Lots of Them
A cryogenic CMOS chip for generating control signals for multiple qubits Abstract + Scaled-up quantum computers will require control interfaces capable of the manipulation and readout of large numbers of qubits, which usually operate at millikelvin temperatures. Advanced complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology is an attractive platform for delivering such interfaces. We estimate that a scaled-up system […]
