Concepts in Quantum Computation — •David DiVincenzo — FZ Juelich and RWTH Aachen

While the basic concepts for the composition and uses of a quantum computer are now nearly twenty years old, detailed concepts for the achievement of working, scalable qubit structures and architectures are undergoing great development in the present time. I will show this development in the case of superconducting qubits; we see that while the basic metrics for the improvement of these qubits have shown a four-order of magnitude improvement over a decade of work, the essential further metrics for scaling and efficient operation have just begun to receive attention. Still, sufficient progress has been made that we can show a concrete conceptual framework for a workable architecture.
