Silicon quantum dots and spin qubits can be fabricated in a 300-mm semiconductor manufacturing facility using all-optical lithography and fully industrial processing. The photograph on the cover shows a section of a 300-mm wafer that contains 82 unit cells (die) and more than 10,000 quantum dot arrays of various lengths.
Quantum computers based on silicon could exploit the manufacturing techniques used to create conventional computer chips — providing a potential route to scaled-up quantum processors.
Indium oxide transistors with an ultrashort channel of less than 10 nm can be fabricated using atomic layer deposition, a technique that is compatible with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) processes.
Hole spin qubits that operate at temperatures close to 4 K can be created in fin field-effect transistors similar to those used in advanced integrated circuits.
This Perspective examines the limitations of ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) used in fifth-generation (5G) communication systems and proposes key research directions for the next generation of URLLC, termed extreme ultra-reliable and low-latency communication.
This Review examines the development of smart textiles for application in personalized healthcare, examining the different platform technologies, fabrication strategies and clinical scenarios, as well as the current commercial and regulatory landscape.
High-frequency elastic waves can propagate across local disorder and around sharp corners in nanoelectromechanical aluminium nitride membranes; this behaviour can be directly imaged using microwave microscopy.
High-performance indium oxide transistors with dimensions smaller than advanced silicon technologies can be fabricated using an industry-compatible atomic layer deposition process.
Fin-shaped transistors can host hole spin qubits at high enough temperatures to potentially enable the scaling and development of quantum computing systems controlled by conventional electronics co-integrated in the same package.
