Connecting the (quantum) dots: A bilinear 2D device architecture for large-scale silicon-based quantum computers.

Summary

Designing a device architecture for large-scale quantum computers is still challenging. 

Efficient quantum algorithms require 2D qubit arrays in which each qubit is connected to its neighbors and can easily be accessed by external circuits and devices.

With the number of qubits increasing, this becomes extremely complicated. 

Bogdan Govoreanu, quantum computing program manager at imec, presents an innovative 2D bilinear device architecture for silicon-spin qubits, where each qubit is connected to four other qubits.
