System and method for scalable optical interconnect for quantum computing
The present disclosure relates to an interconnect system for interfacing an electronic subsystem to a qubit package, wherein the qubit package has a plurality of independent qubits. The system makes use of an optical fiber cable having a plurality of optical fibers, which is interfaced to the electronic subsystem. A 3D optical structure is used which has a plurality of internal waveguides, and which is configured to interface the optical fiber cable to the qubit package. The 3D optical structure further has at least one subsystem for using the plurality of waveguides to receive signals of a first type from at least one of the qubits package or the optical fiber cable, to convert the signals from the first type to a second type, and to transmit the signals in the second type to the other one of the fiber optic cable or the qubit package.
