QCE20 Workshop on
Semiconductor-Inspired Engineering for Quantum Computing

 

Date and Time

  • Mon, Oct 12, 2020
  • 10:45─16:45 Mountain Time (MDT) — UTC-6

Organizers

Overview

The goal of this workshop is to consolidate the requirements for building semiconductor-based quantum computers. Various aspects of semiconductor qubits will be covered, including the development of high-purity materials, large-scale integration, qubit characterization, cryo-electronics, device, and architecture design.  Expert speakers will deliver pre-recorded presentations on the above topics, in addition to being present for live Q&A sessions with discussions. With topics that scan the entire quantum computing stack, the workshop provides significant insight into the potential and challenges involved in building quantum computers from semiconductor qubits.

Target Audience

The topics covered during the workshop will ensure that the audience will have expertise from broad backgrounds spanning the aspects briefed in Section II. We anticipate significant interest, as the workshop is focused at the crossroads of academic and industrial research. With a substantial presence from industrial QC researchers at the IEEE Quantum Week conference, we expect many scientists from the industry to attend the workshop. Academic researchers interested in collaborating with the industry may also form a large fraction of the workshop attendees. Finally, we expect that the workshop will provide graduate students and early career researchers significant insight about potential research avenues and opportunities for industrial collaboration.
