If you are a biotech company dealing with the inability to accurately model viruses and drugs — this project developed a scalable silicon quantum hardware approach that could one day enable the precise modeling of molecular structures.
Scalable Hardware for High-Performance Quantum Computing Using Silicon Technology
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.
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.
What was built
A cryogenic CMOS transistor technology and a full-stack quantum computer demonstrator using silicon spin qubits and a multiplexer.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a logistics firm dealing with complex optimization tasks and routing problems — this project developed a path toward fault-tolerant quantum computers that excel at solving these specific logistical challenges.
If you are a financial firm dealing with massive data processing for risk optimization — this project developed a cryo-CMOS multiplexer that allows for the precise control of millions of qubits to handle complex calculations.
