Researchers are investigating whether existing CMOS fabrication techniques can be adapted for two-dimensional materials to build scalable solid-state quantum processors. This assessment highlights that leveraging established semiconductor infrastructure could offer a pragmatic pathway to practical quantum computing, provided the unique interfaces of atomically thin crystals effectively mitigate fabrication imperfections that degrade qubit coherence. While recent coherence times have improved significantly, further investigation is required to confirm if current manufacturing processes can reliably deliver large-scale systems.

Researchers Assess Two-Dimensional Materials for Scalable Quantum Hardware

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 22, 20265 min read

Can established microchip manufacturing techniques deliver scalable solid-state quantum processors beyond isolated devices or small sets? Evaluating current two-dimensional material platforms, this assessment highlights a need to establish comparable performance metrics between conventional CMOS fabrication and emerging quantum technologies. Leveraging existing semiconductor infrastructure offers a pragmatic pathway towards realising practical quantum computing systems.

The ability to fabricate reproducible solid-state quantum processors is now closer thanks to an evaluation of whether manufacturing processes developed for conventional computer chips can also be used with two-dimensional materials. This assessment details both the opportunities and limitations presented by atomically thin crystals, as their unique interfaces may help overcome challenges like maintaining qubit coherence which can be compromised by imperfections introduced during fabrication. Reproducible manufacturing alongside reliable qubit operation are requirements for developing solid-state quantum processors, because imperfections introduced during fabrication can reduce how long qubits…
