The DiVicenzo Criteria for implementing a quantum computer are a set of requirements that any candidate (circuit model) quantum computer must satisfy. These five requirements, plus two relating to the communication of quantum information were formulated by David P. DiVincenzo in 2008 and are stated as follows:
- A scalable physical system with well characterized qubits.
- The ability to initialize the state of the qubits to a simple fiducial state, such as
.
- Long relevant decoherence times, much longer than the gate operation time.
- A “universal” set of quantum gates.
- A qubit-specific measurement capability.
- The ability to interconvert stationary and flying qubits
.
- The ability faithfully to transmit flying qubits between specified locations.
Flying qubit: qubits that are readily transmitted from place to place.

About marcocerezo
My name is Marco Cerezo, I have a degree in physics from the Universidad Nacional de la Plata (UNLP) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I'm a Ph.D student.
Although I study in Argentina, I was born and raised in Guatemala, so I consider myself "chapín" at heart.
From an early age I discovered how exciting, interesting and fun physics can be, so I decided to devote myself to study this passionate field.
This blog is dedicated to all those who want to dig a little into the mysteries and beauty of physics. And in particular, to all those who are interested in studying Quantum Computation and Quantum Information.
