4.2.3 Assembling a quantum processor
Course subject(s)
Module 4. Superconducting quits
In this build-up from a single to few and from few to many qubits on a quantum processor, we explore the conclusion to this three-part lecture series.
Main takeaways
- Surface Code is a fault-tolerant approach of assembling a quantum processor from the hardware of circuit quantum electrodynamics.
- Surface Code is a 2-dimensional square layout of qubits facilitating nearest-neighbour interactions and individual qubit address-ability.
- Four frequencies are sufficient to control a Surface Code of any size. This leads to an arbitrary-sized Surface Code being composed of repetitive 8-qubit unit cells.
