Volcano Architecture for Scalable Quantum Processors

This paper introduces the "Volcano" architecture, a novel approach to address the scalability challenges in quantum processors based on matter qubits (neutral atoms, trapped ions, quantum dots). The architecture utilizes optical channel mapping via custom-designed 3D waveguide structures on a photonic chip to achieve parallel and independent control of qubits. The key significance lies in its potential to improve both classical and quantum links for scaling up quantum processors, offering a promising solution for interfacing with various qubit platforms and enabling heterogeneous quantum system networking.
