History

2024: Launch of quantum processors for supercomputers

March 18, 2024 MSTU named after N. E. Bauman and FSUE "VNIIA named after N. L. Dukhov" announced the launch of the first contract production of superconducting quantum processors in Russia. This is expected to meet Russia's growing need for next-generation supercomputers.

Against the backdrop of the rapid development of artificial intelligence around the world, the need for high-performance computing (LDC) has grown significantly. In addition, mathematical supercomputer modeling is being actively introduced in various fields, including the creation of new drugs and materials for industry, deep financial analytics, credit risk assessment, etc. At the same time, new types of computers based on the principles of quantum mechanics can help significantly increase the performance of classical supercomputers.

The first contract production of superconducting quantum processors in Russia has been launched

The Russian production of superconducting quantum processors on 100 mm plates is located in the new campus of the Moscow State Technical University named after N.E. Bauman. The production of products in the Scientific and Educational Center "Functional Micro/Nanosystems" (REC FMN - a joint project of the Moscow State Technical University named after N. E. Bauman and FSUE "VNIIA named after N. L. Dukhov") became possible thanks to its own technology of superconducting Josephson circuits - one of the most promising for creating high-precision quantum processors and parametric amplifiers necessary for accurate reading of quantum circuit signals. It took Russian specialists several years to master serial production. Accuracy of manufacturing elements of quantum circuits in tolerance of 0.5 nm is achieved.

One of the key tasks when launching a serial technical process was the creation of nanoscale elements of superconducting devices - Josephson transitions. They are a three-layer structure of aluminum, tunnel alumina and aluminum (Al-AlOx-Al), in which a qubit is "born" when the chip goes into a state of superconductivity. This requires cooling the processor to a temperature below minus 273 degrees Celsius. The FMN REC introduced a technology for the manufacture of Josephson transitions with linear dimensions of tens of nanometers with sub-nanometer accuracy. The area of ​ ​ clean rooms exceeds 2500 square meters. The declared yield of suitable chips is 95%.[1]
