Forschungszentrum Jülich – Integrated Computing Architectures – PGI-4
Integrated Computing Architectures (ICA) is a scientific institute of Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH performing research and innovation in different fields of Future Computing paradigms using semiconductor solutions to enable the scalability of novel computing approaches. This reaches from system modelling over implementations up to system integration of novel devices, like memristors and qubits to enable real applications to significantly advance today’s computing capabilities.
Our mission is to enable the full potential of integrated circuits for scalable architectures and implementations of Future Computing systems and make it available for society.
Role within QSolid
The long-term focus of team “Quantum Computing” is on solutions for large-scale quantum processors. We research and develop cryogenic circuits with extremely low power consumption for scalability to allow for advanced architecture approaches of a full-stack universal quantum computer. The scientific challenges range from scalable system concepts to System-on-Chip (SoC) implementations providing all control and readout functions at temperatures close to 0 Kelvin (-273.15 °C).
Our vision for QSolid
Within the QSolid project, ICA supports the development of the overall system architecture and develops scalable room temperature control electronics. With view towards further scalability, highly integrated cryogenic CMOS solutions are being investigated.
