Hybrid superconducting photonic-phononic chip for quantum information processing

Abstract

The integration of qubits with long coherence times and functional quantum devices on a single chip, and thus the realization of an all-solid-state quantum computing chip, is an important goal in current experimental research on quantum information processing. Among various quantum platforms, a series of significant progresses have been made in photonic quantum chips and superconducting quantum chips, while both the number of qubits and the complexity of quantum circuits have been increasing. Although these two chip platforms have respective unique advantages and potentials, their shortcomings have been gradually revealed and need to be solved. By introducing phonon-integrated devices, it is possible to combine all unsuspended phononic, photonic, and superconducting quantum devices organically on the same chip to achieve coherent coupling among them. Here, we provide a prospect and a short review on the integrated photonic, superconducting, and hybrid quantum chips for quantum information processing.
