Any truly scalable gate-model quantum computing (GMQC) architecture needs to address the issue of control. Specifically, the number of control lines needed to operate a given quantum processing unit (QPU) must scale slowly with total device count within that QPU. Most proposed superconducting GMQC architectures to date have invoked a bruteforce scaling approach to increase QPU size, wherein that line count increases linearly with device count. However, this approach is nearing practical limitations around the scale of 100 physical qubits, which is far below the scale required for building commercially relevant QPUs. In contrast, quantum annealing (QA) QPUs exist today that have been designed with scalability built-in from the outset. This whitepaper describes how D-Wave Quantum Inc. (D-Wave) scalable control technology, as embodied in modern QA QPUs, can be adapted to find utility in the context of superconducting GMQC.
