International Catalyst on Hole Spin Qubits

量子计算机（qc）的计算能力来源于一种完全不同的方式来编码和处理量子叠加态的信息，预计将在材料模拟、化学、药物行为预测、优化和人工智能等领域执行任何现在或未来的经典计算机都无法完成的计算。量子技术的发展有望产生巨大的经济回报。qc的应用与扭转气候变化和养活不断增长的人口一样雄心勃勃。我们建议与新南威尔士大学和布法罗大学的世界知名专家进行国际合作，重点研究基于半导体的qc的单元细胞或功能单元的优化。处理和网络功能背后的关键因素是固体中单个粒子的自旋，半导体器件与工业微加工方法完全兼容。我们的国际联盟将国际上受尊敬的科学家与加拿大研究人员密切合作，致力于将量子技术带入主流，造福加拿大人、澳大利亚人和美国人。

Quantum computers (QCs), whose computational power derives from a fundamentally different way to encode and process information in quantum superposition states, are anticipated to perform calculations that are impossible for any present or future classical computer, in areas as impactful as simulation of materials, chemistry, prediction of drug behaviour, optimization, and artificial intelligence. The development of quantum technologies is expected to produce immense economic returns. Applications of QCs are as ambitious as reversing climate change and feeding our growing population.We propose an international collaboration with world-renowned experts at the University of New South Wales and University of Buffalo centred on the optimization of the unit cell, or functional unit, of semiconductor-based QCs. The key element behind the processing and networking functionality is the spin of individual particles in solids, in semiconductor devices entirely compatible with industrial microfabrication approaches. Our international alliance brings internationally respected scientists into a close collaboration with Canadian researchers working to bring quantum technologies to the mainstream for the benefit of Canadians, Australians, and Americans.
