Department of PhysicsJohn Anderson Research Colloquia

Coordinated with the Colloquia at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Glasgow. (They may have donuts but we have free chocolate covered biscuits and coffee!)

Silicon spin-based quantum computing has seen substantial progress in the last few years - developments include demonstrations of fidelities above the fault-tolerant threshold and scaling to several-qubit devices, including Quantum Motion's deployment of the first full-stack silicon MOS quantum computer at the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). The development of advanced cryo-electronics and the unique integration opportunities offered by cryo-CMOS hold the keys to unlocking scalable architectures to support utility-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. We present Quantum Motion's recent work in industrially fabricated cryo-CMOS electronics and qubits, scalable approaches to readout, and thermal characterisation and modelling.
