超导绝热量子计算机基础组件的研制

Quantum computing makes use of quantum coherent superposition to provide significant quantum speedup over classical computing on some important scientific and application problem. The realization of large-scale quantum computer is of huge scientific and social value，but will also meet great challenges in science and engineering. Therefore, developing large-scale practical quantum computer needs carefully to coordinate the trade-off between three aspects: quantum coherence, scalability and scientific application from its early stage. And building a low-noise dedicated quantum computer is the optimized way to achieve practical quantum computing in the near term. Adiabatic quantum computation has the universal quantum computing power and is protected by limited energy gap to tolerate system noise. It also has wide applications in combinatorial optimization and molecular ground-state problems. This project is aimed to develop a superconducting adiabatic quantum computing prototype based on circuit-quantum electrodynamics with high quantum coherence and high architecture scalability. The basic components will include distributed quantum bits, tunable quantum coupler and high-fidelity quantum measurement. We will comprehensively analyze and test the balance between quantum coherence and scalability, and achieve high-quality and scalable adiabatic quantum computing prototype, to establish the scientific foundation of the next generation practical-scale adiabatic quantum computers.
