Devices for quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum sensing share many challenges in terms of the materials, their interfaces, and fabrication technologies. This presentation will quickly review the broad swath of quantum technologies that are being actively studied, while identifying synergies among them that can be exploited for efficient development of integrated quantum computing systems. Advanced process tools capable of exquisite control of the processes, materials and interfaces at 300mm wafer scale have been utilized for the fabrication of structures for quantum computing. Examples of such efforts, including structures for superconducting transmon qubits, resonators, and superconducting nanowire single photon detectors, will be discussed – with an emphasis on the materials and process control issues that needed to be tackled, while keeping manufacturability considerations always in mind. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of how advances in the fabrication of such devices for quantum computing are being applied to ‘adjacent spaces’ such as neuromorphic computing using superconducting optoelectronics (in partnership with AFRL-Rome and NIST Boulder).
