A novel and useful quantum computing machine includes classic computing and quantum computing cores. A programmable pattern generator executes instructions that control the quantum core. A pulse generator generates the control signals input to the quantum core to perform quantum operations. A partial readout of the quantum state is re-injected into the quantum core to extend decoherence time. Access gates control movement of quantum particles in the quantum core. Errors are corrected from the readout before being re-injected into the quantum core. Internal and external calibration loops calculate error syndromes and calibrate control pulses input to the quantum core. Control of the quantum core is provided from an external support unit via the pattern generator or retrieved from classic memory where sequences of commands are stored in memory. A cryostat unit functions to cool the quantum computing core to approximately 4 Kelvin.

During gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor fabrication, a nucleation layer, e.g., aluminum nitride (AlN) may be formed superjacent a substrate, e.g., silicon carbide (SiC). Next, a semiconductor layer, such as including GaN, may be formed over the nucleation layer. This disclosure describes various techniques for forming a thick enough layer of gallium nitride (GaN) to ensure complete coalescence and minimal surface roughness, then removing the excess GaN until a desired thickness is achieved. In some examples, the GaN removal may be performed by desorption, such as may be performed in-situ by using hydrogen gas close to the growth temperature.

Novel and useful quantum structures having a continuous well with control gates that control a local depletion region to form quantum dots. Local depleted well tunneling is used to control quantum operations to implement quantum computing circuits. Qubits are realized by modulating gate potential to control tunneling through local depleted region between two or more sections of the well. Complex structures with a higher number of qdots per continuous well and a larger number of wells are fabricated. Both planar and 3D FinFET semiconductor processes are used to build well to gate and well to well tunneling quantum structures. Combining a number of elementary quantum structure, a quantum computing machine is realized. An interface device provides an interface between classic circuitry and quantum circuitry by permitting tunneling of a single quantum particle from the classic side to the quantum side of the device. Detection interface devices detect the presence or absence of a particle destructively or nondestructively.
