[0057] In the superconducting quantum computer mainboard provided in the embodiment of the application, the XY control multiplexer, the Z control multiplexer, the quantum amplifier, the microwave connector and the superconducting quantum processor are integrated on the same circuit board and are in the same temperature zone.
[0058] The superconducting quantum computer mainboard provided in the embodiment of the application integrates the control multiplexer, the quantum amplifier and the superconducting quantum processor on the same circuit board, provides a new channel multiplexing mode for controlling and reading out quantum bits, greatly reduces the number of microwave lines, realizes control and reading out of more quantum bits, and is conducive to the large-scale development of the superconducting quantum computer.

The on-chip quantum amplifier with strong isolation function in the embodiment can be directly connected with the quantum chip, protecting the quantum chip from the interference of the subsequent circuit. Based on the on-chip quantum amplifier with strong isolation function in the embodiment, it is conducive to the large-scale development of superconducting quantum computer.
