Scalable Hardware for High-Performance Quantum Computing Using Silicon Technology

digitalTestedTRL 4

Imagine trying to build a giant library, but you only have a few tiny shelves that don't fit together. This project creates a new way to build the 'shelves' of a quantum computer using standard silicon, similar to how today's computer chips are made. By adding a smart switching system, they can control millions of tiny quantum bits without the system overheating or becoming too bulky.

The business problem

What needed solving

Current quantum computers cannot scale because they lack the hardware to control millions of qubits without massive energy loss or physical bulk. This prevents the technology from solving real-world problems in drug discovery and logistics.

The solution

What was built

A cryogenic CMOS transistor technology and a full-stack quantum computer demonstrator using silicon spin qubits and a multiplexer.
