Researchers from Fujitsu and QuTech have developed new and ultra-cold electronic circuits to control diamond-based quantum bits. As a result of their joint research project, it becomes possible to build larger quantum computers, through overcoming the 'wiring bottleneck', while maintaining high quality performance. In fact, both the quantum bits and the control electronics can be conveniently operated in a single compact cryogenic refrigerator. The researchers publish their results at IEEE's ISSCC. The functional quantum computer of the future will contain millions of quantum bits, or 'qubits'.
