CATEGORY 4 – COMPUTERS
4A Systems, Equipment and Components
4A1901 (48)
Issued by Spain (49)
Additional information:
Description of the controlled items:
Quantum computers and related electronic assemblies and components therefor, as follows:
a. |
Quantum computers, in accordance with the following requirements:
|
b. |
Qubit devices and qubit circuits containing or supporting arrays of physical qubits, and specially designed for items specified by 4A1901; |
c. |
Quantum control components and quantum measurement devices, specially designed for items specified by 4A1901; |
Notes:
1. |
4A1901 applies to circuit model (or ‘gate-based’) and one-way (or ‘measurement-based’ - MBQC) quantum computers. |
2. |
Items specified in 4A1901 need not necessarily physically contain any qubits. For example, quantum computers based on photonic schemes do not permanently contain a physical item that can be identified as a qubit. The photonic qubits are generated while the computer is operating and are then later discarded. |
3. |
Items specified in 4A1901 include semiconductors, superconductors, and photonic qubit chips and chip arrays; ion trap arrays; other qubit confinement technologies; and coherent interconnects between those elements. |
4. |
4A1901 applies to items designed for calibrating, initialising, manipulating or measuring the resident qubits of a quantum computer. |
Technical notes:
For the purposes of 4A1901:
1. |
A physical qubit is a two-level quantum system used to represent the elementary unit of quantum logic by means of manipulations and measurements that are not error corrected. Physical qubits differ from logical qubits in that the latter are error-corrected qubits made up of many physical qubits. |
2. |
Fully controlled means the physical qubit can be calibrated, initialised, gated and read out, as necessary. |
3. |
Connected means that two-qubit gate operations can be performed between any arbitrary pair of the available working physical qubits. This does not necessarily entail ‘all-to-all’ connectivity. |
4. |
Working means that the physical qubit performs universal quantum computational work functions according to system specifications for volume and capacity measurements, in accordance with qubit operational fidelity. |
5. |
Supporting 34 or more fully controlled, connected, working physical qubits refers to the capability of a quantum computer to confine, control, measure and process the quantum information embodied in 34 or more physical qubits. |
6. |
C-NOT error is the average physical gate error for the Controlled-NOT (C-NOT) nearest-neighbour gates of two physical qubits. |
