A co-simulation of superconducting qubit and control electronics for quantum computing

Zhanhong Jin, Shaowei Li, Xinzhe Wang +2 more

As the number of qubits in quantum computing increases, the scalability of existing qubit circuit structures and control systems may become insufficient for large-scale expansion and high-fidelity control. To address this challenge, we propose a behavioral-level model of a superconducting qubit and its control electronics, followed by a co-simulation to evaluate their performance. In this paper, we present the modeling process, simulation procedure, and resulting design specifications for the qubit control system. Our co-simulation approach utilizes MATLAB and Simulink, enabling us to derive critical circuit design specifications, such as the required Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) resolution, which should be 8 bits or higher, to achieve high-fidelity control. By taking into account factors such as DAC sampling rates, integral and differential nonlinearities, and filter characteristics, we optimize the control system for efficient and accurate qubit manipulation. Our model and simulation approach offer a promising solution to the scalability challenges in quantum computing, providing valuable insights for the design of large-scale superconducting quantum computing systems.

Analog/Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits for Quantum Computing

Joseph C. Bardin

Future error-corrected quantum computers will require analog/mixed-signal control systems capable of providing a million or more high-precision analog waveforms. In this article, we begin by introducing the reader to superconducting transmon qubit technology and then explain how the state of a quantum processor implemented in this technology is controlled. By example, we then show how one can implement one part of the quantum control system as a cryogenic integrated circuit and review experimental results from the characterization of such an IC. The article concludes with a discussion of analog/mixed-signal design challenges that must be overcome in order to build the system required to control a million-qubit quantum computer.

Fine-Pitch (≤ 10 µm) Nb-based Superconducting Silicon Interconnect Fabric for Large-Scale Quantum System Application

Yu-Tao Yang, Chaowei Hu, Peng Zhang +4 more

To realize the potential of quantum computing, a compact integrated system with millions of qubits and control electronics is required. Existing analog schemes are challenging for the compact system with a high I/O density and wiring requirement. In this paper, a new digital assembly scheme providing high-density I/O (>10000 per mm2) is proposed. Qubits can be heterogeneously integrated with digital superconducting control electronics on a System-on-Wafer Superconducting Silicon Interconnect Fabric which is experimentally validated in this work. The key potential advantages include nanoseconds of control/readout cycle, 10–4qubit error rate, 0.2 mW system power dissipation per qubit. The dies can be assembled on the SoW platform with ≤ 100 µm inter-dielet spacing through the Au interlayer technology, which is demonstrated to be fine pitch (≤10 um), quantum-compatible (30 MPa shear force), and electrically reliable down to 2 K. This work pushes quantum computing to highly scaled-out densely integrated qubits with superconducting controls.
