ABSTRACT
Quantum computing is poised to be the innovation driver of the next decade. Its information processing capabilities will radically accelerate drug discovery, improve online security, or even boost artificial intelligence [1]. Building a quantum computer promises to have a major positive impact in society, however building the hardware that will enable that paradigm change its one of the greatest technological challenges for humanity.
The spins of isolated electrons in silicon are one of the most promising solid-state systems to achieve that goal. With the recent demonstrations of long coherence times [2], high-fidelity spin readout [3], and one- and two-qubit gates [4-7], the basic requirements to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer have now been fulfilled. These are promising initial results for this relatively recent approach to quantum computing, indicating that attempting to build a quantum computer based on silicon technology is a realistic proposition.
Keywords: Silicon, Transistors, Spins, Quantum Computing, CMOS, VLSI.
