TOKYO – Efficient quantum computing is expected to enable advancements that are impossible with classic computers. Scientists from Japan and Sydney have collaborated and proposed a novel 2-D design that can be constructed using existing IC technology. This design solves typical problems facing the current 3-D packaging for scaled-up quantum computers, according to a new study, led by Prof. Jaw-Shen Tsai from Tokyo University of Science.
