Solid state hybrid devices for quantum information processing

Abstract

The SOLID concept is to develop small solid-state hybrid systems with 3-8 qubits capable of performing elementary processing and communication of quantum information. This involves design, fabrication and investigation of combinations of qubits, oscillators, cavities, and transmission lines, creating hybrid devices interfacing different types of qubits for quantum data storage, qubit interconversion, and communication. The agenda is to provide proofs of concept, to identify roadblocks, and to stake out roads that seem particularly promising, including practical applications of quantum technologies.
