#Upgrading the quantum computer: New quantum computer architecture Abstract: Within the last several years, considerable progress has been made in developing a quantum computer,
which holds the promise of solving problems a lot more efficiently than a classical computer. Physicists are now able to realize the basic building blocks,
the quantum bits (qubits) in a laboratory, control them and use them for simple computations. For practical application, a particular class of quantum computers, the so-called adiabatic quantum computer, has generated recently a lot of interest among researchers and industry.
It is designed to solve real-world optimization problems conventional computers are not able to tackle. All current approaches for adiabatic quantum computation face the same challenge:
The problem is encoded in the interaction between qubits; to encode a generic problem, an all-to-all connectivity is necessary,
but the locality of the physical quantum bits limits the available interactions.""The programming language of these systems is the individual interaction between each physical qubit.
The possible input is determined by the hardware. This means that all these approaches face a fundamental challenge
when trying to build a fully programmable quantum computer, "explains Wolfgang Lechner from the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Innsbruck.
Theoretical physicists Wolfang Lechner, Philipp Hauke and Peter Zoller have proposed now a completely new approach. The trio, working at the University of Innsbruck and the IQOQI, suggest overcoming the challenges by detaching the logical qubit from the physical implementation.
Each physical qubit corresponds to one pair of logical qubits and can be tuned by local fields.
These could be electrical fields when dealing with atoms and ions or magnetic fields in superconducting qubits."
"Any generic optimization problem can be programmed fully via the fields, "explains co-author Philipp Hauke from the Institute for Theoretical physics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria."
"By using this approach we are not only avoiding the limitations posed by the hardware but we also make the technological implementation scalable."
"Integrated fault tolerance Because of the increased number of degrees of freedom, which could also lead to nonphysical solutions,
the physicists arrange the qubits in a way that four physical qubits interact locally.""In this way we guarantee that only physical solutions are possible,
The solution of the problem is encoded redundantly in the qubits.""With this redundancy our model has also a high fault tolerance,
"The step from mechanical calculators to fully programmable computers started the information technology age 80 years ago.
"A patent for the new quantum computer architecture has been submitted this year. The scientists are supported financially by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and the European Research Council (ERC) among others s

#Next important step toward quantum computer with quantum dots Physicists at the Universities of Bonn and Cambridge have succeeded in linking two completely different quantum systems to one another.
In doing so, they have taken an important step forward on the way to a quantum computer. To accomplish their feat the researchers used a method that seems to function as well in the quantum world as it does for us people:
just as quickly too quickly to be of any real use in a quantum computer. In contrast, charged atoms, called ions, have an excellent memory:

#Electrical control of quantum bits in silicon paves the way to large quantum computers (Nanowerk News) A University of New south wales (UNSW)- led research team has encoded quantum information in silicon using simple electrical pulses for the first time,
bringing the construction of affordable large-scale quantum computers one step closer to reality. Lead researcher, UNSW Associate professor Andrea Morello from the School of Electrical engineering and Telecommunications, said his team had realised successfully a new control method for future quantum computers.
The findings were published today in the open-access journal Science Advances("Electrically controlling single-spin qubits in a continuous microwave field".
"This is an electron wave in a phosphorus atom, distorted by a local electric field. Unlike conventional computers that store data on transistors and hard drives, quantum computers encode data in the quantum states of microscopic objects called qubits.
The UNSW team, which is affiliated with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation & Communication Technology, was first in the world to demonstrate single-atom spin qubits in silicon,
reported in Nature in 2012 and 2013. The team has improved already the control of these qubits to an accuracy of above 99%and established the world record for how long quantum information can be stored in the solid state
as published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2014. It has demonstrated now a key step that had remained elusive since 1998."
"We demonstrated that a highly coherent qubit, like the spin of a single phosphorus atom in isotopically enriched silicon,
can be controlled using electric fields, instead of using pulses of oscillating magnetic fields, "explained UNSW's Dr Arne Laucht,
"Therefore, we can selectively choose which qubit to operate. It's a bit like selecting which radio station we tune to,
"The findings suggest that it would be possible to locally control individual qubits with electric fields in a large-scale quantum computer using only inexpensive voltage generators, rather than the expensive high-frequency microwave sources.
Moreover, this specific type of quantum bit can be manufactured using a similar technology to that employed for the production of everyday computers,
Key to the success of this electrical control method is the placement of the qubits inside a thin layer of specially purified silicon

#Scientists design a full-scale architecture for a quantum computer in silicon Australian scientists have designed a 3d silicon chip architecture based on single atom quantum bits,
which is compatible with atomic-scale fabrication techniques-providing a blueprint to build a large-scale quantum computer.
Scientists and engineers from the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T), headquartered at the University of New south wales (UNSW),
are leading the world in the race to develop a scalable quantum computer in silicon-a material well-understood
and favoured by the trillion-dollar computing and microelectronics industry. Teams led by UNSW researchers have demonstrated already a unique fabrication strategy for realising atomic-scale devices
and have developed the world's most efficient quantum bits in silicon using either the electron or nuclear spins of single phosphorus atoms.
Quantum bits-or qubits-are the fundamental data components of quantum computers. One of the final hurdles to scaling up to an operational quantum computer is the architecture.
Here it is necessary to figure out how to precisely control multiple qubits in parallel, across an array of many thousands of qubits,
and constantly correct for'quantum'errors in calculations. Now, the CQC2T collaboration, involving theoretical and experimental researchers from the University of Melbourne
In a study published today in Science Advances("A surface code quantum computer in silicon""the CQC2T team describes a new silicon architecture,
which uses atomic-scale qubits aligned to control lines -which are essentially very narrow wires-inside a 3d design."
and have been working towards a full-scale architecture where we can perform error correction protocols-providing a practical system that can be scaled up to larger numbers of qubits,
"In the team's conceptual design, they have moved from a one-dimensional array of qubits, positioned along a single line,
This qubit layer is sandwiched"in a three-dimensional architecture, between two layers of wires arranged in a grid.
multiple qubits can be controlled in parallel, performing a series of operations using far fewer controls. Importantly, with their design, they can perform the 2d surface code error correction protocols in which any computational errors that creep into the calculation can be corrected faster than they occur."
"Our Australian team has developed the world's best qubits in silicon, "says University of Melbourne Professor Lloyd Hollenberg,
"However, to scale up to a full operational quantum computer we need more than just many of these qubits-we need to be able to control
""In our work, we've developed a blueprint that is unique to our system of qubits in silicon,
for building a full-scale quantum computer.""In their paper, the team proposes a strategy to build the device,
needed to address individual qubits, and make the processor work.""This architecture gives us the dense packing
