Overview
Leveraging ANF’s Expertise and State-of-the-Art Fabrication
D-Wave Quantum is primarily known for its quantum annealing (QA) technology based on superconducting flux qubits. Fluxonium, a relatively modern member of the flux-like qubit family, has also become an attractive candidate qubit for D-Wave Quantum.
Challenge
Given the growing interest in fluxonium and D-Wave Quantum’s deep experience in building flux-like qubit quantum technologies, the company has embarked upon a research program that harnesses the unique properties of fluxonium for all of D-Wave Quantum’s technology development.
Solution
D-Wave has been collaborating with the ANF to prototype gate model quantum computing (GMQC) architectures based on fluxonium qubits. D-Wave’s scientific and engineering personnel work closely with ANF staff to design, fabricate, and package circuits using the facility’s state-of-the-art electron beam lithography (EBL) equipment and world-class EBL expertise.
