Strategic Objectives
• Decode the unique carrier transport mechanisms below 77 Kelvin.
• Identify the limitations of standard CMOS in cryogenic environments.
• Design efficient interfaces between classical controllers and qubits.
• Minimize thermal noise and power dissipation in extreme cold.
The Core Challenge
Standard room-temperature electronics fail in the extreme cold required for quantum processors, creating a massive bottleneck in the race for scalable quantum computing.
