The exceptionally long quantum coherence times of phosphorus donor nuclear spin qubits in silicon, coupled with the proven scalability silicon-based nano-electronics, make them attractive candidates for large-scale computing. However, high threshold topological error correction can only be captured a two-dimensional array operating synchronously and parallel-posing formidable fabrication control challenges. We present an architecture that addresses these problems through novel shared-control...

Characterisation protocols have so far played a central role in the development of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers capable impressive feats.
