About The Position

Superconducting quantum circuits are currently the leading platform for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) to solve classically intractable problems. Despite recent encouraging efforts, the coherence time of superconducting qubits is limited to ≲1 ms. Advancing FTQC toward greater complexity and functionality necessitates the development of coherence-enhanced memory qubits for prolonged quantum information storage. On the other hand, our recent breakthroughs in single electron-on-neon (eNe) qubits have established a fundamentally new quantum computing platform, which opens a new avenue for next-generation QC systems. Notably, the spin state coherence time of eNe qubits is predicted to reach ~80 s, approximately 160,000 times longer than that of superconducting qubits, making them ideal candidates for quantum memory applications. We propose to coherently integrate eNe qubits with superconducting qubits for advanced quantum computing. This architecture utilizes eNe qubits as quantum memory for long-time quantum information storage and superconducting qubits for fast quantum information processing. Particularly, we aim to achieve strong coupling between eNe and superconducting qubits, followed by the realization of high-fidelity universal two-qubit gates. Moreover, we will demonstrate on-demand quantum memory with enhanced fidelity by integrating reinforcement learning algorithms in quantum control. By adopting a scaling strategy similar to that of IBM/Google, the realization of large-scale modular quantum computing based on ultra-long-coherence eNe spin qubit quantum memory becomes increasingly attainable.
