European QLSI Consortium Launched to Create a 16 Spin Qubit Based Quantum Computer with a €15 mil...

The four year project, named QLSI, will be coordinated by CEI-Leti with 18 additional organizations and will leverage previous research performed by some of the consortium members. It is part of the European Union’s Quantum Flagship program, a 10-year, R&D initiative launched in 2018.

Goals of the project will be to:

1. Fabricate a 16-qubit quantum processor

2. Demonstrate single- and two-qubit gates, read-out and initialization with these devices with a greater than 99% fidelity in a lab environment

3. Demonstrate online, open access of an 8-qubit prototype processor through the Quantum Inspire open-access quantum cloud environment.

4. Document the requirements to scale up to large systems with greater than 1,000 qubits

The nineteen members of the consortium and their activities in the project include the following:

1. CEA – development and fabrication of spin qubits

2. TUD – demonstration of spin qubithttp://www.qutech.nl/
