DESCRIPTION:Edoardo Charbon\, Advanced Quantum Architecture Lab (AQUA)\nAs
  part of the Design\, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE)\, Sc
 hool of Engineering Professor Edoardo Charbon will give a Keynote Presenta
 tion entitled Cryo-CMOS Quantum Control: from a Wild Idea to Working Silic
 on on the EPFL campus\, while connected virtually to the conference.\n\nFr
 ee to attend\, Monday March 14\, 10:10-11:00 CET\, INF 328.\n\nAbstract an
 d Bio\nThe core of a quantum processor is generally an array of qubits tha
 t need to be controlled and read out by a classical processor. This proces
 sor operates on the qubits with nanosecond latency\, several millions of t
 imes per second\, with tight constraints on noise and power. This is due t
 o the extremely weak signals involved in the process that require highly s
 ensitive circuits and systems\, along with very precise timing capability.
  We advocate the use of CMOS technologies to achieve these goals\, whereas
  the circuits will be operated at deep-cryogenic temperatures. We believe 
 that these circuits\, collectively known as cryo-CMOS control\, will make 
 future qubit arrays scalable\, enabling a faster growth in qubit count. In
  the lecture\, the challenges of designing and operating complex circuits 
 and systems at 4K and below will be outlined\, along with preliminary resu
 lts achieved in the control and read-out of qubits by ad hoc integrated ci
 rcuits that were optimized to operate at low power in these conditions. Th
 e talk will conclude with a perspective on the field and its trends.\n\nEd
 oardo Charbon (SM’00 F’17) received the Diploma from ETH Zurich\, the 
 M.S. from the University of California at San Diego\, and the Ph.D. from t
 he University of California at Berkeley in 1988\, 1991\, and 1995\, respec
 tively\, all in electrical engineering and EECS. He has consulted with num
 erous organizations\, including Bosch\, X-Fab\, Texas Instruments\, Maxim\
 , Sony\, Agilent\, and the Carlyle Group. He was with Cadence Design Syste
 ms from 1995 to 2000\, where he was the Architect of the company's initiat
 ive on information hiding for intellectual property protection. In 2000\, 
 he joined Canesta Inc.\, as the Chief Architect\, where he led the develop
 ment of wireless 3-D CMOS image sensors. Since 2002 he has been a member o
 f the faculty of EPFL. From 2008 to 2016 he was with Delft University of T
 echnology’s as full professor and Chair of VLSI design. He has been the 
 driving force behind the creation of deep-submicron CMOS SPAD technology\,
  which is mass-produced since 2015 and is present in telemeters\, proximit
 y sensors\, and medical diagnostics tools. His interests span from 3-D vis
 ion\, LiDAR\, FLIM\, FCS\, NIROT to super-resolution microscopy\, time-res
 olved Raman spectroscopy\, and cryo-CMOS circuits and systems for quantum 
 computing. He has authored or co-authored over 400 papers and two books\, 
 and he holds 23 patents. Dr. Charbon is a distinguished visiting scholar o
 f the W. M. Keck Institute for Space at Caltech\, a fellow of the Kavli In
 stitute of Nanoscience Delft\, a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Photon
 ics Society\, and a fellow of the IEEE.
