Quantum Hardware Architecture
Superconducting Qubits
Operating at near absolute zero temperatures, superconducting qubits leverage the Josephson effect to create quantum states. These circuits exhibit quantum behavior at macroscopic scales.
Trapped Ions
Individual ions are trapped using electromagnetic fields and manipulated with lasers. These systems offer exceptional coherence times and high-fidelity operations.
Photonic Qubits
Using single photons as qubits, these systems leverage linear optical elements and photon detection for quantum operations.
Key Hardware Features
Qubit Control
Precise microwave and laser systems for qubit manipulation with sub-nanosecond timing resolution.
Cryogenic Systems
Dilution refrigerators maintaining stable millikelvin temperatures for superconducting circuits.
Error Correction
Surface code implementation with high-fidelity measurement and reset operations.
Quantum I/O
High-bandwidth classical-to-quantum interfaces with minimal decoherence.
