Redefining cryogenic electronics for the quantum age

00:45 - 09:55

Abstract

Quantum computing’s long‑term promise hinges on a fundamental rethinking of its classical control technology. As systems scale, today’s reliance on extensive wiring and room‑temperature electronics imposes severe limits on power, complexity, and reliability. This talk outlines a bold new direction: pushing cryo‑CMOS far beyond its current frontier to operate at millikelvin temperatures, bringing sensing, signal processing, and logic directly into the cryogenic environment where the quantum processor resides. Enabled by the prestigious ERC‑funded project SuperQold, this work aims to redefine the cryogenic electronics stack and unlock radically more compact, energy‑efficient, and scalable quantum computers. By removing key barriers to scale, this approach has the potential to accelerate global progress toward fault‑tolerant quantum systems with far‑reaching impact across science, industry, and society.
