摘要： In a general aspect, a quantum processor has a modular architecture. In some aspects, a modular quantum processor includes first and second quantum processor chips and a cap structure. The first quantum processor chip is supported on a substrate layer and includes a first plurality of qubit devices. The second quantum processor chip is supported on the substrate layer and includes a second plurality of qubit devices. The cap structure is supported on the first and second quantum processor chips and includes a coupler device that provides coupling between at least one of the first plurality of qubit devices with at least one of the second plurality of qubit devices. In some instances, the coupler device is an active coupler device that is configured to selectively couple at least one of the first plurality of qubit devices with at least one of the second plurality of qubit devices.
