(NextBigFuture) Silicon Quantum Computing Pty. Ltd. (SQC) is working to create and commercialize a quantum computer based on world-leading intellectual property acquired from the Australian Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology (CQC2T) with the goal of developing a 10-qubit quantum integrated circuit prototype in silicon by 2022. After this announcement the author provides in-depth information about the various approaches to developing a qubit quantum integrated circuit.
Quantum computing models:
* Quantum gate array
* One-way quantum computer
* Adiabatic quantum computer, based on quantum annealing
* Topological quantum computer (computation decomposed into the braiding of anyons in a 2D lattice)
Main ways to make the qubits
*Trapped ion quantum computer
*Optical lattices
*Quantum dot computer, spin-based
*Quantum dot computer, spatial-based
Silicon spins
*Trapped ions
*Superconducting transmons
