The use of ultra-cold (~milli Kelvin) superconducting (SC) qubits is c ustomary in most of the cutting-edge quantum computing systems in existenc e. The quantum core is accompanied by two other crucial components - a cla ssical control processor and a memory block. Currently\, these classical c omponents are kept at room temperature and are interfaced with the quantum substrate through low-density dissipative interconnects. The resulting la rge thermal gradient adds extra noise to this sensitive system\, which alr eady strives to suppress interferences. To realize a practical quantum com puting system (comprising thousands of qubits)\, it is necessary to keep a ll relevant components (qubits\, control processor\, interconnects\, and t he memory block) in a cryogenic environment. That makes an easy case for s pecialized cryogenic logic and memory. Even with the advent of the quantum computing era\, ultra-fast and energy-efficient classical computing syste ms are still in high demand. With the rapidly increasing energy demand in data centers and supercomputing facilities\, cryogenic logic/memory system s have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional platforms. Superc onducting electronics (SCE) has the potential to revolutionize HPC systems \, thanks to the ultra-high speed (~100s of GHz) and extreme energy effici ency (atto-Joule/operation) of the SC devices. To fully leverage the capab ilities of SC processors\, it is necessary to pair them with suitable cryo memory blocks. Finally\, cryo logic/memory are critically important and n atural fit for space applications. Due to such immense prospects\, a multi tude of technologies have already been explored to find suitable candidate s for cryogenic data processing and storage. This presentation provides a brief overview of the existing and emerging variants of cryogenic computin g primitives. The discussion also includes the challenges associated with these technologies and their unique prospects. A special emphasis will be placed on some of our recent works on cryogenic logic\, memory\, and logic -in-memory platforms.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Uzma Rana\n\nSpeaker(s): Ahmedul lah Aziz\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/575944 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/575944 ORGANIZER:uzma.rana@ibm.com SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:Computing at the Ultra-Cold: Exploring the Frontiers of Cryogenic E lectronics URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/575944 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Speaker:&nbsp\;</strong>Dr. Ahmedu llah Aziz\, Associate Professor\, Department of Electrical Engineering &am p\; Computer Science\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville</p>\n<p>Cryogen ic (Cryo) logic and memory technologies have been rapidly garnering intere st in recent years due to their immense prospect as potential enablers for multiple exciting technology platforms\, including - quantum computing\, high performance computing (HPC)\, and space electronics.
