Scalable Quantum Computation With Spin

Synopsis

Spin in semiconductors have recently emerged as useful building blocks for solid-state quantum computation. Here I will describe my group’s research at UBC and QMI on development of components for scalable quantum computation with spin, including magnetic-field compatible superconducting quantum limited amplifiers and converters, and preliminary work on the design of a spin-based quantum transducer for building a quantum network.  After this, I will turn to describing our efforts on developing a semiconductor quantum processor and simulator based on spins of quantum dots. I will conclude by briefly describing and a new collaborative multi-PI project at UBC and QMI on improving the scalability of control of quantum processors operating at cryogenic temperatures.
