Abstract

An integrated system for quantum computation is provided, In one aspect, the system includes at least one semiconductor spin quantum bit (qubit); a feedline configured to act as an electron spin resonance (ESR) antenna for control of the at least one qubit; at least one resonator; and a ground plane common to both the feedline and the at least one resonator. The at least one resonator is capacitively coupled to the feedline, and configured for readout of the at least one qubit via the feedline. The feedline and the at least one resonator are arranged in adjacent layers separated by at least a dielectric. A corresponding method of performing quantum computation using such an integrated system is also provided.
