Fundamental Technologies for Silicon Quantum Computers

Tetsuo Kodera

Silicon quantum computers are still in the early stages of development. It is expected that mature semiconductor technology will be applied in the future, and large-scale integration will progress. In this paper, after explaining the operating principles of silicon qubit devices, the current status of research and development on increasing the fidelity and integration of qubits is introduced. Future challenges and prospects are also discussed.

Scalable and high-sensitivity readout of silicon quantum devices

Simon Schaal

Quantum computing is predicted to provide unprecedented enhancements in computational power. A quantum computer requires implementation of a well-defined and controlled quantum system of many interconnected qubits, each defined using fragile quantum states. The interest in a spin-based quantum computer in silicon stems from demonstrations of very long spin-coherence times, high-fidelity single spin control and compatibility with industrial mass-fabrication. Industrial scale fabrication of the silicon platform offers a clear route towards a large-scale quantum computer, however, some of the processes and techniques employed in qubit demonstrators are incompatible with a dense and foundry-fabricated architecture. In particular, spin-readout utilises external sensors that require nearly the same footprint as qubit devices. In this thesis, improved readout techniques for silicon quantum devices are presented and routes towards implementation of a scalable and high-sensitivity readout architecture are investigated. Firstly, readout sensitivity of compact gate-based sensors is improved using a high-quality factor resonator and Josephson parametric amplifier that are fabricated separately from quantum dots. Secondly, an integrated transistor-based control circuit is presented using which sequential readout of two quantum dot devices using the same gate-based sensor is achieved. Finally, a large-scale readout architecture based on random-access and frequency multiplexing is introduced. The impact of readout circuit footprint on readout sensitivity is determined, showing routes towards integration of conventional circuits with quantum devices in a dense architecture, and a fault-tolerant architecture based on mediated exchange is introduced, capable of relaxing the limitations on available control circuit footprint per qubit. Demonstrations are based on foundry-fabricated transistors and few-electron quantum dots, showing that industry fabrication is a viable route towards quantum computation at a scale large enough to begin addressing the most challenging computational problems.

Enabling 300 mm Wafer-Scale Fabrication of Superconducting Quantum Devices

Superconducting quantum computing has demonstrated exponential improvements in coherence times over the past two decades, bringing us to the present Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. Improvements in materials and fabrication techniques are still required along with circuit and algorithm innovations to move beyond the NISQ era. We discuss several aspects of the process development work that enables the fabrication of superconducting quantum devices and circuits at 300 mm wafer scale, using materials, processes and tools that are entirely compatible with high-volume integrated circuit fabs. Damascene structures of superconducting tantalum and aluminum (embedded in high resistivity silicon substrates) are described along with examples of process control. The use of such structures for coplanar waveguide resonators in quantum circuits is described, along with modifications to enable integration of normal metal traps to mitigate quasiparticle poisoning. This paper also includes a description of the considerable process development required to enable ALD-TaN based Josephson junctions fabricated with entirely 300 mm compatible processes, in contrast to the lift-off based processes currently in wide use for qubit fabrication. It concludes with a description of how these efforts help with establishing a Quantum Foundry at NY CREATES (a non-profit organization) that can democratize access to advanced qubit fabrication by offering an open superconducting quantum Process Design Kit (PDK).
