There criteria were proposed in 2000 by physicist David DiVincenzo. He formulated the criteria that a physical system must meet so it can implement a Qubit/quantum computer.

These criteria are as follows:

1. A scalable physical system with well characterized Qubit
2. The ability to initialize the state of the qubits to a simple fiducial state
3. Long relevant Decoherence times
4. A “universal” set of quantum gates
5. A qubit-specific measurement capability
