DESCRIPTION:Prof Fabio Sebastiano\,\nDelft University of Technology\, Delf
 t\, The Netherlands\nThe seminar will take place in the main auditorium in
  Neuchâtel Campus (MC A1 272) and will be simultaneously broadcasted in
  ELA 2.\n\nCoffee and cookies will be served at 13:00 before the seminar\,
  in front of the two auditoriums. \n\nAbstract\nQuantum computers promise
  to ignite the next technological revolution as the classical computer did
  for last century’s digital revolution by efficiently solving problems t
 hat are intractable by today’s computers. By enabling the efficient simu
 lation of quantum systems\, quantum computing will allow both the optimiza
 tion of existing industrial processes and the synthesis of new drugs and m
 aterials\, thus representing an unprecedented game changer with the potent
 ial to disrupt entire industries\, create new ones\, and radically change 
 our lives.\nQuantum computers rely on processing the information stored in
  quantum bits (qubits). Although such qubits typically require cryogenic o
 peration\, today’s quantum processors are mainly controlled by conventio
 nal electronics at room temperature. A few wires can readily bridge this t
 hermal gap since today’s quantum computers employ only a few qubits. How
 ever\, practical quantum computers addressing relevant problems will requi
 re more than thousands of qubits\, making this approach impractical. A mor
 e scalable approach consists in operating a complex electronic interface a
 t cryogenic temperature\, very close to the quantum processor\, eventually
  in the same package or even on the same chip. By exploiting the advances 
 in performance and integration offered by the semiconductor industry\, CMO
 S operating at cryogenic temperature (cryo-CMOS) is the most viable techno
 logy for such a cryogenic interface.\nIn this talk\, we will quickly revie
 w the basics of quantum computation and briefly overview state-of-the-art 
 quantum computers and the open challenges towards a practical computing de
 vice. After showing the behavior of CMOS devices at cryogenic temperature\
 , we will go over several cryo-CMOS circuits for both qubit drive and read
 out\, and their verification with real-world qubits\, focusing on the late
 st results and highlighting challenges and opportunities.\n\n\nBio \nFabio
  Sebastiano received the B.Sc. (cum laude) and M.Sc. (cum laude) degrees i
 n electrical engineering from University of Pisa\, Italy\, in 2003 and 200
 5\, respectively\, the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) from Sant’Anna School of
  Advanced Studies\, Pisa\, Italy\, in 2006 and the Ph.D. degree from Delft
  University of Technology\, The Netherlands\, in 2011.\nFrom 2006 to 2013\
 , he was with NXP Semiconductors Research in Eindhoven\, The Netherlands\,
  where he conducted research on fully integrated CMOS frequency references
 \, nanometer temperature sensors\, and area-efficient interfaces for magne
 tic sensors. In 2013\, he joined Delft University of Technology\, where he
  is currently an Associate Professor and the Research Lead of the Quantum 
 Computing Division of QuTech. He has authored or co-authored one book\, 11
  patents\, and over 100 technical publications. His main research interest
 s are cryogenic electronics\, quantum computing\, sensor read-outs\, and f
 ully integrated frequency references.\nDr. Sebastiano is on the technical 
 program committee of the ISSCC\, and the IEEE RFIC Symposium\, and has bee
 n on the program committee of IMS. He is currently serving as an Associate
  Editor of the IEEE Transactions on VLSI\, and has also served as a Guest 
 Editor of the JSSC. He was co-recipient of the 2008 ISCAS Best Student Pap
 er Award\, the 2017 DATE best IP award\, the ISSCC 2020 Jan van Vessem Awa
 rd for Outstanding European Paper\, and the 2022 IEEE CICC Best Paper Awar
 d. He has served as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Solid-State Circuit
  Society.
