Three Bets on Silicon: Donor Qubits, Quantum Dots, and the Foundry Path Compared
When people say "silicon quantum computing," they often speak as if it is one thing. It is not. It is at least three distinct approaches, built on the same material but employing different physics, different fabrication methods, and different strategies…
