Australian Laureate Fellowships - Grant ID: FL190100167

Funded Activity Summary

The CMOS Quantum Processor: A path to scalable quantum computing. The project aims to develop a quantum computer processor based on a new technology developed by Professor Dzurak in 2014-15. Remarkably, the qubits, or processing elements, utilise the silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors that constitute today’s microprocessor chips, so existing production plants can be used to fast-track development. The project will realise proof-of-principle systems with 10-20 qubits, to resolve critical issues related to readout, error correction, and long-distance on-chip coupling, to take the technology to a commercial-ready stage. Quantum computing is one of the great scientific challenges of this century, with important applications in pharmaceutical design, finance and national security.
