A research consortium including Aalto University, VTT, and IQM has designed a new microwave source which could replace existing bulky control systems that hinder the scalability of quantum computers.

 

ESPOO, Finland-Sunday 12 December 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- In a new work published in Nature Electronics, researchers in Finland have developed a circuit that produces the high-quality microwave signals required to control quantum computers while operating at temperatures near absolute zero. This is a key step towards moving the control system closer to the quantum processor, which may make it possible to greatly increase the number of qubits in the processor.

One of the factors limiting the size of quantum computers is the mechanism used to control the qubits in quantum processors. This is normally accomplished using a series of microwave pulses, and because quantum processors operate at temperatures near absolute zero, the co ... Read more »
