This equipment application aims to obtain a high sensitivity (fA) and high precision (10uV) semiconductor parameter analyzer suitable for testing novel and patented monolithically integrated quantum processors (QPs) consisting of SiGe hole-spin qubit arrays with up to 1024 qubits and associated millimetre-wave spin-manipulation and readout electronics. The research is funded by NSERC and supported by Ciena Canada and GlobalFoundries with in-kind fabrication runs in 3nm FinFET and 22nm FDSOI technologies valued at over $300,000 per year. It addresses the continued scaling of computational power by exploring novel atomic-scale quantum-computing (QC) hardware in CMOS foundry processes, which can be integrated on the same die with classical CMOS logic and millimetre-wave analog electronics. This equipment will be used daily by all graduate students in the applicant's research group. There is no equivalent instrument in the ECE Department at U of T. The IT industry is at a critical moment. The building block of classical computers, the CMOS transistor, has reached its fundamental limits. QPs are now the front runner to take the baton from classical digital processors and are drawing large research investments from tech companies (Google, Honeywell, Intel, IBM, Microsoft). In the next 5-10 years, QPs promise to transform computational medicine through exponential or polynomial speedups. For instance, with QPs we could elucidate the reaction pathways of nitrogenase in less than four days; a classical computer simulation would take billions of years. However, today's QPs have too few gate operations to solve practical problems, and yet are too large to be deployed in workplaces. Our elevated-temperature (>4 Kelvin) QPs will revolutionize computing. The 100x increase in operating temperature over current QPs will enable greatly increased processor complexity and compute power while reducing operating and power costs. Within 10 years, such a quantum computer will be about the size of a desktop computer, small enough to be deployed in workplaces, hospitals, doctors' offices, and homes. QC is also anticipated to fundamentally change the way information is transmitted and processed in the next decade, an area of strategic importance for telecom equipment companies like Ciena Canada. The telecommunications sector could make use of QPs for many applications in the future, including quantum cryptography, network optimization, quantum networking in terrestrial fibre networks, and AI applications. NRC projects that 229,000 Canadians will be employed in quantum R&D by 2040. Thus, our world-class technology and research and the requested equipment will enable global leadership in QC and its application in telecom and medicine by allowing us to be among the first to demonstrate low-cost, elevated temperature, monolithic QPs, creating new products and business opportunities, training HQP, and helping to solve so-far intractable problems to the benefit of Canadians.

该设备的应用旨在获得高灵敏度（FA）和高精度（10UV）半导体参数分析仪，适用于由SIGE HOL-SPIN量子阵列组成的新颖和专利单层整合量子处理器（QPS），最多可提供1024码和相关的米片米片旋转旋转旋转旋转旋转式旋转式微型操作和读取和读取。这项研究由NSERC资助，并由加拿大Ciena和Globalfouldries提供支持，其实物制造在3NM FinFET和22nm FDSOI技术中，价值超过300,000美元。它通过探索CMOS铸造工艺中的新型原子量量子计算（QC）硬件来解决计算能力的持续缩放，该过程可以与经典的CMOS逻辑和毫米毫米 - 波 - 波模拟电子设备集成在同一模具上。申请人研究小组中的所有研究生每天都使用该设备。 U的ECE部门在T的ECE部门没有等效的工具。IT行业处于关键时刻。古典计算机（CMOS晶体管）的基础已达到其基本限制。 QPS现在是从古典数字处理器中夺取指挥棒的前锋，并正在从科技公司（Google，Honeywell，Intel，IBM，Microsoft）中汲取大量研究投资。在接下来的5 - 10年中，QPS有望通过指数速度或多项式加速转化计算医学。例如，使用QPS，我们可以在不到四天的时间内阐明氮酶的反应途径。经典的计算机模拟将需要数十亿年。但是，当今的QPS的门操作太少，无法解决实际问题，但太大而无法部署在工作场所中。我们高度的温度（> 4 kelvin）QP将彻底改变计算。当前QP的工作温度的100倍升高将使处理器的复杂性大大提高，同时降低操作和功率成本。在10年内，这样的量子计算机将大约是台式计算机的大小，足够小，可以部署在工作场所，医院，医生办公室和房屋中。预计QC还可以从根本上改变信息在未来十年内传输和处理的方式，这对于加拿大Ciena等电信设备公司来说是战略重要性的领域。电信部门将来可以使用QPS用于许多应用程序，包括量子密码学，网络优化，地面光纤网络中的量子网络和AI应用程序。 NRC projects that 229,000 Canadians will be employed in quantum R&D by 2040.
