If you are a drug discovery firm dealing with the inability to simulate complex molecules — this project developed an FDSOI-based quantum processor demonstrator that provides a scalable path to high-performance computing. This could eventually accelerate the discovery of new medicines.
Scalable Quantum Processors Using Standard Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology
Imagine trying to build a super-advanced computer using the same factories that make today's smartphone chips. Instead of inventing entirely new manufacturing plants, this project uses a special silicon layering technique to make quantum bits more reliable. It's like upgrading the blueprint of a chip so it can handle quantum calculations without losing its stability.
What needed solving
There is a gap between how the semiconductor industry makes chips and what quantum computers actually need to function. This makes it difficult to move quantum computing from the lab to a mass-produced commercial product.
What was built
An FDSOI-based quantum processor demonstrator featuring a 4X4 multi-core architecture and associated software control systems.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are an encryption software provider dealing with the threat of quantum decryption — this project developed a 4X4 multi-core architecture that advances the commercial availability of quantum hardware. This allows for better testing of quantum-resistant security protocols.
If you are a supply chain optimizer dealing with massive routing variables — this project developed a silicon-based quantum processor using FDSOI technology that aims for reproducibility. This creates a foundation for solving optimization problems at a commercial scale.
Quick answers
What is the cost or price of this technology?
Based on available project data, specific pricing for the end product is not listed, though the EU provided a contribution of EUR 2,440,870 for development.
