Cryogenic Control Platform Marks Step Toward Million-Qubit Computers

Integrating low-power cryogenic electronics at milli-kelvin temperatures preserves qubit coherence to support scaling toward million-qubit systems.

Overview

  • The platform uses a cryo-CMOS chip to control spin qubits at temperatures just above absolute zero without degrading their performance.
  • Researchers measured negligible fidelity loss and unchanged coherence times in single- and two-qubit operations under cryogenic control.
  • The control electronics operate within a 10-microwatt power envelope, demonstrating feasibility for large-scale qubit arrays.
  • A paper published in Nature outlines the cryogenic platform developed by the University of Sydney in collaboration with the University of New South Wales.
  • Emergence Quantum and Diraq are positioned to commercialize the low-temperature control chip for future quantum processors.
