Presentations

Challenges and opportunities for development of ultra-low power scaled quantum computing systems

This talk will cover practical challenges for the development of integrated system designs for next generation quantum computing which includes a combination of integrated circuits, systems and microwave engineering. Starting from system level, it will detail the design considerations for non-multiplexed, semi-autonomous, transmon qubit state controllers (QSC) implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology. The QSC includes an augmented general-purpose digital processor that supports waveform generation and phase rotation operations combined with a low power current-mode single sideband upconversion I/Q mixer-based RF arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology, the QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range, achieving an SFDR > 50dB for a signal bandwidth of 500MHz. With the controller operating in the 4K stage of a cryostat and connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage, measured transmon T1 and T2 coherence times were 75.5μS and 73 μS, respectively, in each case comparable to results achieved using conventional room temperature controls. In further tests with transmons, a qubit-limited error rate of 7.76×10-4 per Clifford gate is achieved, again comparable to results achieved using room temperature controls. The QSC’s maximum RF output power is -18 dBm, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW. An improved, low-power design version that achieves half of this power will also be presented, including some clocking solutions for large arrays.
