aiqbench analysis
This perspective examines the feasibility of transferring fabrication processes from next-generation CMOS channels to solid-state quantum processors using two-dimensional materials. By leveraging atomically thin crystals and van der Waals interfaces, this approach aims to mitigate issues like chemical residues and structural disorder that currently limit qubit coherence and manufacturability. The analysis provides a critical evaluation of whether these material science advances can resolve key constraints in scaling up fault-tolerant quantum hardware.
Two-Dimensional Materials toward CMOS-Compatible Scalable Quantum Hardware
arXiv:2609.16172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Manufacturability is one of several constraints on developing solid-state quantum processors, along with qubit performance, control, connectivity, cryogenic operation, and fault tolerance. Chemical residues, structural disorder, and non-uniform interfaces introduced during fabrication can compromise qubit coherence. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, with their atomically thin crystals and van der Waals interfaces, offer routes to address some of these challenges. Their concurrent development as next-generation CMOS channel materials motivates an examination of whether relevant processes can be transferred to quantum chips. This Perspective evaluates the opportunities and limitations of 2D materials for CMOS-compatible quantum hardware.
