Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large scale quantum computer could change the world.  Performing certain calculations in minutes that would take the largest supercomputer millions of years.  The impact to applications such as cryptography, chemistry, finance, etc would be huge. Today\u2019s quantum processors are limited to 10\u2019s of entangled quantum bits.   If you believe the hype, a commercially relevant system is just around the corner that can outperform our largest supercomputers for useful calculations.   The reality, however, is that we are still early in the race.    There are many unanswered fundamental questions.   At Intel, our approach is to rely on the continued evolution of Moore\u2019s Law to build qubit arrays with a high degree of process control. Here, we present progress toward the realization of a 300mm Si\/SiGe based spin qubit device in a production environment.  A spin qubit relies on the spin of a single electron in an external magnetic field to encode the two states of the qubit, where spin up vs down represent 0 vs 1.   Spin Qubits are compelling as their appearance and fabrication is similar to conventional CMOS transistors that drive the microelectronics industry.  At the same time, they are roughly one million time smaller than the superconducting qubits that are being pursued by other companies.  In addition, this talk will focus on a key bottleneck to moving beyond today\u2019s few-qubit devices:  the interconnect scheme and control of a large quantum circuit.  Today\u2019s qubits have personalities.  Individual control of each qubit is required.   A small quantum processor today has multiple RF and DC wires per qubit.   This is a brute force approach to wiring and will not scale to the millions of qubits needed for large applications.  At Intel, we have developed customized control chips, optimized for performance at low temperature, with a goal of simplifying wiring and replacing the racks and racks of discrete electrical components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim Clarke is the director of the Quantum Hardware research group within Intel\u2019s Components Research Organization. Jim launched Intel\u2019s Quantum Computing effort in 2015, as well as a research partnership with QuTech (TU Delft and TNO). His group\u2019s primary focus is to use Intel\u2019s process expertise to develop scalable qubit arrays.\u00a0 In 2018, Jim worked with industry leaders and the Intel policy group to influence the U.S. National Quantum Initiative Act.\u00a0 Prior to his current role, Jim managed a group focused on interconnect research at advanced technology nodes as well as evaluating new materials and paradigms for interconnect performance. He has co-authored more than 100 papers and has over 50 patents.\u00a0 Prior to joining Intel in 2001, Jim completed a B.S. in chemistry at Indiana University, a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Harvard University and a post-doctoral fellowship in physical organic chemistry at ETH, Z\u00fcrich.\u00a0\u00a0 He is a member of IEEE.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
