Abstract
All envisaged practical implementations of cryogenic processors, including quantum computers and classical processors based on single flux quantum (SFQ) signals, require massive data transfer from and to classical high performance computers (HPCs). Cryogenic computing has recently become a very hot topic, including superconducting quantum computers (QCs), and classical processors based on single flux quantum (SFQ) signals. All envisaged practical implementations of cryogenic processors require massive data transfer from and to classical HPCs. The project aCryComm aims to develop building blocks for cryogenic photonics interconnects and eventually enable this challenging data transfer. The long-term goal is the development of an open-access platform to integrate classical optical interfaces based on low-loss silicon photonics, plasmonics, and nano light sources together with superconducting photonic and electronic devices, including SFQ-based co-processors for HPCs and for QCs.
