Superconducting quantum processor performs well with significantly less wiring

PHYS.org — In quantum computers, each qubit typically requires its own control line. This means that engineers need to introduce several wires that carry electrical pulses (i.e., signal lines), and the number of necessary wires increases with the number of qubits. As quantum computers grow larger, this can be problematic, as processors become harder to build and reliably operate.
Researchers at Seeqc Inc., a company that develops digital quantum computing systems, recently introduced a new quantum processor that could operate reliably and at millikelvin temperatures, despite requiring significantly less wiring.
This processor, introduced in a paper published in Nature Electronics, has a unique design in which qubits and their control electronics are integrated on two separate but connected superconducting chips.
