Scalable Quantum Computing Architecture Using Wireless In-Package Communication

digitalPrototypeTRL 3

Imagine trying to build a giant supercomputer, but the wires are so bulky they block the cooling and slow everything down. This project replaces those messy wires with a wireless system that works at freezing temperatures. It lets different quantum processing cores talk to each other instantly, making it possible to scale up from a few qubits to millions.

The business problem

What needed solving

Current quantum computers cannot scale to the millions of qubits required for real-world applications because physical wiring at cryogenic temperatures creates bottlenecks and heat issues.

The solution

What was built

A multi-chip quantum architecture featuring wireless in-package links, cryo-antennas, and protocols for coordinating quantum-coherent data and control planes.
