Project description
Building a quantum computer with 100 qubits
Quantum computers could revolutionise the way we solve hard computing problems that appear impossible with classical computers. The EU-funded QUCUBE project plans to develop a silicon-based quantum processor that will support at least 100 quantum bits (qubits), currently a first in terms of qubit numbers. The success of the project will rely on many technological breakthroughs, including 3D architecture specially designed to accommodate the charge sensing devices necessary for qubit readout and the metal gate lines for electrical control and measurements, as well as the implementation of quantum error correction schemes.
