Taking silicon quantum dot based quantum computing from the lab to large scale fabrication: a true moonshot for our time

Quantum computing is expected to become one of the most disruptive technologies for the 21^st century, radically altering the way we process information and how we understand the structure of matter and molecules. Building a large scale quantum computer, however, will require a vast number of highly coherent subsystems to work together in unison, meanwhile pushing the limits of physics. To achieve this, industrial scale resources in terms of size, yield and accuracy are expected to be required, with extremely tight tolerances in terms of defectivity and noise. For that reason, quantum computing is often referred to as a Moonshot project.

In this talk, Prof. Seigo Tarucha (Riken) and Kristiaan De Greve (imec) will discuss how international collaboration can contribute to furthering this goal, and to help realize this Moonshot. Combining the pioneering technical excellence and expertise present in Japan with the fabrication expertise of imec, we will present a vision of how to make realistic, large scale quantum processors based on semiconductor quantum dots.
