Potential of Cryogenics Electronics for Future Computing Systems


Workshop: WHPC@SC23: 16th International Women in HPC Workshop

Authors: Meriam Gay Bautista (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL))


Abstract: Cryogenic electronics have great potential to advance computing capabilities and quantum information processing. We explore two categories: Superconducting Electronics (SCE) and Cryogenic semiconductor electronics (Cryo-Semi). Taking advantage of the inherent phenomenon of superconductivity with zero resistance and Josephson junctions, SCE presents notable advantages in energy efficiency, minimal power dissipation, and gigahertz processing speed. Similarly, cryo-semi electronics offers a compelling advantage over their room temperature counterpart; these include lower noise, higher operating speed, increased efficiency, and wide-range operating temperature. Both SCE and cryo-semi exhibit compatibility with quantum technologies and deep space applications. Both have the capacity to operate at deep cryogenic temperatures, making them an appealing candidate for quantum computing. Their integration enables the seamless integration of classical and quantum resources in a shared cryogenic environment, improving quantum error correction and operating temperature compatibility.
