Learn how to construct a quantum supercomputer in this 48-minute conference talk that traces the evolution of quantum computation from theoretical concept to emerging technology. Explore the current state of quantum computing, where small-scale demonstrations now operate on hundreds of physical qubits and proof-of-principle error correction functions on single logical qubits. Examine the significant challenges that remain in quantum hardware development, fabrication processes, software architecture design, and algorithmic implementation that must be addressed for full-scale deployment. Discover how adopting existing semiconductor technology can enable the construction of higher-quality qubits and how system engineering approaches can provide viable pathways for scaling quantum computing systems. Gain insights into the technical roadmap for transforming quantum computing from laboratory demonstrations into practical, scalable quantum supercomputing infrastructure.
