Distributed Quantum Entanglement

Scalability is perhaps the biggest challenge facing quantum computing. Known technologies have fundamental limitations on how many qubits can fit in a single module, which poses the question of how to scale beyond the number of qubits that can be hosted by a single module.

Distributed Quantum Computing in Silicon

Developing performant quantum systems of commercial utility will require hundreds to thousands of logical qubits. To achieve this capacity, quantum systems must be modular due to the upper limits of qubit capacity in any single monolithic machine.

Distributed Quantum Computing in Silicon
Here we present preliminary demonstrations of some key distributed quantum computing protocols on silicon T centres in isotopically-enriched silicon. We demonstrate the distribution of entanglement between modules and consume it to apply a teleported gate sequence, establishing a proof-of-concept for T centres as a distributed quantum computing and networking platform.

Scalable Fault-Tolerant Quantum Technologies with Silicon Colour Centres
This Perspective, recently submitted to arXiv, proposes a novel architecture for quantum information processing based on optically active spins in silicon that offers a combined single technological platform for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing and networking. The architecture is optimized for overall entanglement distribution and leverages colour centre spins in silicon (T centres) for their manufacturability, photonic interface, and high fidelity information processing properties. Silicon nanophotonic optical circuits allow for photonic links between T centres, which are networked via telecom-band optical photons in a highly-connected graph. This high connectivity unlocks the use of low-overhead quantum error correction codes, significantly accelerating the timeline for modular, scalable fault- tolerant quantum repeaters and quantum processors.
