Review of Superconducting Qubit Devices and Their Large-Scale Integration

Hiu Yung Wong

The superconducting qubit quantum computer is one of the most promising quantum computing architectures for large-scale integration due to its maturity and close proximity to the well-established semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure. From an education perspective, it also bridges classical microwave electronics and quantum electrodynamics. In this paper, we will review the basics of quantum computers, superconductivity, and Josephson junctions. We then introduce important technologies and concepts related to DiVincenzo's criteria, which are the necessary conditions for the superconducting qubits to work as a useful quantum computer. Firstly, we will discuss various types of superconducting qubits formed with Josephson junctions, from which we will understand the trade-off across multiple design parameters, including their noise immunity. Secondly, we will discuss different schemes to achieve entanglement gate operations, which are a major bottleneck in achieving more efficient fault-tolerant quantum computing. Thirdly, we will review readout engineering, including the implementations of the Purcell filters and quantum-limited amplifiers. Finally, we will discuss the nature and review the studies of two-level system defects, which are currently the limiting factor of qubit coherence time. DiVincenzo's criteria are only the necessary conditions for a technology to be eligible for quantum computing. To have a useful quantum computer, large-scale integration is required. We will review proposals and developments for the large-scale integration of superconducting qubit devices. By comparing with the application of electronic design automation (EDA) in semiconductors, we will also review the use of EDA in superconducting qubit quantum computer design, which is necessary for its large-scale integration.

Superconducting and Silicon-Based Semiconductor Quantum Computers: A review

Zhi-Long Jia, Yaobin Fu, Zhen Xing Cao +8 more

Quantum computers are based on the theory of quantum mechanics, and their powerful parallel data processing capability is expected to solve many mathematical problems that too are difficult to be handled by classical computers. Especially with the increase of data processing volume, the quantum advantage is more obvious. Among the many physical systems for quantum computers, superconducting quantum circuit and semiconductor quantum dot computers show amazing potential due to their compatibility with traditional integrated circuit process technology and ultrashort gating time of nanoseconds. Superconducting qubits consisting of Josephson junctions and superconducting coplanar capacitors are easily integrated into a large scale for their simple circuit structure and conventional semiconductor process compatibility. Semiconductor qubits made from isotopically purified silicon (Si)-based materials greatly suppress nuclear spin noise, and decoherence times of ultralong milliseconds can be achieved. In this article, we systematically describe the challenges faced by superconducting qubits and semiconductor qubits in hot issues such as error correction and decoherence and look into the future development of superconducting quantum computers and Si-based semiconductor quantum computers.
