Quantum information transfer between hole spins and topological states

Project description

Hybrid qubits to overcome key hurdles to realising a universal quantum computer

The essence of a universal quantum computer is that it combines the full power of a classical computer with that of a quantum computer, enabling simulation of physics and all operations of a classical computer. The spins of electrons embedded in a quantum dot or topological particles in semiconductors offer hope for building a universal quantum logic gate that supports all possible operations at the quantum mechanical level. However, both present challenges. The EU-funded QUIST project aims to unite both methods to overcome hurdles to building a large-scale quantum computer. The ultimate aim is to build a powerful platform where complex systems can be created, simulated, and computed to advance general understanding of physics.
