DESCRIPTION:Edoardo Charbon (EPFL)\nAbstract\nThe core of a quantum proces
 sor is generally an array of qubits that need to be controlled and read ou
 t by a classical processor. This processor operates on the qubits with nan
 osecond latency\, several millions of times per second\, with tight constr
 aints on noise and power. This is due to the extremely weak signals involv
 ed in the process that require highly sensitive circuits and systems\, alo
 ng with very precise timing capability. We advocate the use of CMOS techno
 logies to achieve these goals\, whereas the circuits will be operated at d
 eep-cryogenic temperatures. We believe that these circuits\, collectively 
 known as cryo-CMOS control\, will make future qubit arrays scalable\, enab
 ling a faster growth in qubit count. In the lecture\, the challenges of de
 signing and operating complex circuits and systems at 4K and below will be
  outlined\, along with preliminary results achieved in the control and rea
 d-out of qubits by ad hoc integrated circuits that were optimized to opera
 te at low power in these conditions. The talk will conclude with a perspec
 tive on the field and its trends.\n\nSpeaker\nEdoardo 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 the University of Califor
 nia at Berkeley in 1988\, 1991\, and 1995\, respectively\, all in electric
 al engineering and EECS. He has consulted with numerous organizations\, in
 cluding Bosch\, X-Fab\, Texas Instruments\, Maxim\, Sony\, Agilent\, and t
 he Carlyle Group. He was with Cadence Design Systems from 1995 to 2000\, w
 here he was the Architect of the company's initiative on information hidin
 g for intellectual property protection. In 2000\, he joined Canesta Inc.\,
  as the Chief Architect\, where he led the development of wireless 3-D CMO
 S image sensors. Since 2002 he has been a member of the faculty of EPFL. F
 rom 2008 to 2016 he was with Delft University of Technology’s as full pr
 ofessor 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\, proximity sensors\, and medical 
 diagnostics tools. His interests span from 3-D vision\, LiDAR\, FLIM\, FCS
 \, NIROT to super-resolution microscopy\, time-resolved Raman spectroscopy
 \, and cryo-CMOS circuits and systems for quantum computing. He has author
 ed or co-authored over 400 papers and two books\, and he holds 23 patents.
  Dr. Charbon is a distinguished visiting scholar of the W. M. Keck Institu
 te for Space at Caltech\, a fellow of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience D
 elft\, a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society\, and a fell
 ow of the IEEE.\n\n
