Silicon Quantum
Information Processing (QIP) is highly appealing due to excellent spin qubit
performances and the expertise of the integrated circuit industry in device
scaling. Demonstrations of long-lived, high-fidelity silicon qubits,
multi-qubit gates and spin–photon coupling, are promising for the control and
interconnect of QIP architectures. Recently, spin qubits in related
semiconductors (e.g. germanium) have also emerged as promising implementations
of scalable quantum hardware. The formidable challenge of scaling these systems
to the level required for meaningful computational applications has also
brought to the fore the need for robust cryo-CMOS electronics, which will
enable fast control and data processing, as well as schemes to correct errors
and protect against decoherence. This meeting will bring together leading
researchers from the QIP communities of silicon and related semiconductors, as
well as cryo-CMOS designers and engineers who are working at different layers
of the “quantum stack”.Organised by the IOP Quantum Optics,Quantum Information and Quantum Control Group and Co-organised by National Physical Laboratory (NPL)
