# Different Type Quantum Architecture ## Superconducting Loops: - A resistance free current oscillates back and forth around a circuit loop. An injected microwve signal excites the current into super-position states. - **Company Support:** Google , IBM , Quantum Circuit. - **Qubits Available:** - **Pros:** - Fast. - Built on existing semiconductor industry - **Cons:** - Collapse easily - Extremely low temp required to work ## Trapped Ion: - Electrically charged atom or ions, have quantum energies that depend on the location of the electron.Tuned laser cool and trap the ions and put them in superposition states. - **Company Support:** ionQ - **Pros:** - Highly stable - Can achieve high gate fidelities. - **Cons:** - Operation is slow. - Many lasers are recquired for operation ## Silicon Quantum Dots - These *artificial atom* are made by adding an electron to a small piece of pure silicon.Microwave control the electrons quantum states. - **Company Support:** Intel - **Pros:** - Stable - Build on existing semiconductor industry - **Cons:** - Entanglement is limited(Few in number). - Low temp is recquired for operation. ## Topological Qubits: - Quasiparticles can be seen in behaviour of electrons channeled through semi-conductor structures.Their braided path can encode quantum imformation. - **Company Support:** Microsoft,Bell Labs - **Pros:** - Greatly reduce error. - **Cons:** - Still a very theoretical concept. ## Diamond Vaccancies: - A nitrogen atom and a vaccancy add an electron to a diamond lattice. Its quantum spin state , along with those of nearby carbon nuclei , can be controlled with light. - **Company Support:** Quantum Diamond Technologies - **Pros:** - Can be operated at room temp. - **Cons:** - Entanglement is hard to achieve. ## Neutral Atom - Neutral atoms like ions store qubits within electronic state interaction through excitation to Ryberg State. - **Company Support:** Atom Computing,QuEra - **Pros:** - The number of possible qubits is more. - Both 2D and 3D Topography possible. - **Cons:** - Lasers are recquired. - The physics is not well understood. - Some atoms(used for computation) cn escape over time. ## Photonics - Photonic Qubits interact via linear elements , using photons as a elementary particle for interaction. - **Company Support:** Xanadu , PsiCorp - **Pros:** - Linear optical gates can be integrated on-chip. - Capable of being scaled to much higher degree over time. - **Cons:** - No way of implementing memory to store information. - Photon loss.
