 l Lecture Prof. Pasquale Scarlino\n\nSemiconductor qubits rely on controll
 ing the charge and spin degrees of freedom of electrons or holes confined 
 in quantum dots.\nAs semiconductor qubit-qubit coupling is typically short
 -ranged\, the distance between interacting qubits must not exceed the exte
 nt of the wavefunction of the confined particles mediating said coupling (
 a few hundred nanometers). After reviewing the state of the art of the exp
 erimental effort in building a spin qubit quantum processor\, a novel meth
 od for potentially scaling up spin qubits is presented\, inspired by techn
 iques initially developed for circuit QED. In particular\, I will show how
  to achieve the strong coupling limit between individual electrons confine
 d in semiconducting quantum dots and microwave photons confined in high-im
 pedance superconducting resonators.\nIndeed\, promoting interactions withi
 n quantum systems with distinct degrees of freedom will enable us to creat
 e unique\, more sophisticated\, and yet versatile devices paving the way f
 or the investigation of light-matter interaction at the fundamental level 
 in novel and unconventional régimes\, and opening new venues for applicat
 ions in quantum information technology.\n\nBiography\nPasquale Scarlino ob
 tained his master's degree in Physics at the University of Salento\, Lecce
  (Italy)\, in February 2011. He received his Ph.D. in Physics in February 
 2016 under the supervision of Prof. L.M.K. Vandersypen in the Quantum Tran
 sport Group at TU Delft. He contributed to the first realization and contr
 ol of a spin qubit defined in a Silicon quantum well. He underwent post-do
 ctoral training in Prof. A. Wallraff's group at ETH Zurich\, where he work
 ed on integrating semiconductor and superconductor technologies. Here\, he
  pioneered microwave-photon-mediated strong coupling between charge and sp
 in qubits in semiconductor devices. From June 2019 to October 2020\, he wo
 rked as a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Station Q and the Center for Quan
 tum Devices in Copenhagen\, focusing on semiconductor-superconducting hybr
 id hardware for topologically protected quantum computation. Since Novembe
 r 2020\, he has been a tenure track Assistant Professor of Physics in the 
 School of Basic Sciences at the EPFL\, where he founded the Hybrid Quantum
  Circuit (HQC) laboratory.
