QLSI - Quantum Large-Scale Integration with Silicon

© QLSI

Project QLSI aims to develop a scalable technology for silicon qubits for quantum computing. Silicon qubits can be driven and read out quickly and are ideally suited for quantum computing due to their small size, high quality and compatibility with industrial manufacturing processes. Silicon qubits have been successfully demonstrated many times. The project aims to develop a scalable technology for a later industrial implementation and the demonstration of a 16-qubit chip.

Fraunhofer IAF will work on the statistical characterization of qubits at low temperatures to understand the variability aspects for later industrial production.

PROJECT TITLE

DURATION

2020 – 2024

FUNDING SOURCE

Horizon 2020 of the European Union

Grant agreement number 951852

Coordinator

PROJECT LEADER FRAUNHOFER IAF

Prof. Rüdiger Quay

OBJECTIVES

  • Manufacture and operation of 16-qubit quantum processors based on industry-compatible semiconductor technology
  • Demonstration of high-fidelity (> 99%) one- and two-qubit gates, readout and initialization with these devices in a laboratory environment
  • Demonstration of a quantum computing prototype with open online access to the community, integrating a high quality quantum processor in a semi-industrial environment (up to 8 qubits available online)
  • Documentation of requirements to address the important issue of scalability towards large systems > 1,000 qubits
