Abstract

In this study, the main results of experimental and theoretical investigations that substantiate the possibility of the development of quantum computational systems with a separate structure are considered and analyzed. These systems involve the operational part and the memory, as well as the communication quantum network, which performs the data exchange between them. We are starting to get knowledge about such hybrid quantum devices from studying the solid-state systems, in which the macroscopic number (ensemble) of NV centers in diamond is used as the memory element, while superconducting mesoscopic structures play the role of the operational element and quantum network.
