Launch of the first quantum computer on silicon chips

London-based startup Quantum Motion has unveiled its fully fledged quantum computer. The unique project was developed at the National Quantum Computing Center (NQCC).

Technology for creating the first silicon quantum computer

The computer was created using a CMOS-based crystal manufacturing process. The key element of this technology was the creation of cryoelectronics, which functions by combining qubits with microchips.

The startup's CEO is confident that the creation of a quantum computer can be suitable for mass production. This technology is a turning point in the development of future technology.

The system operates on the basis of a quantum processor with a control stack and a user interface. It is also optimally sized for data centers and occupies only three 19-inch server racks.

The main system operates independently of auxiliary equipment, and this approach also makes it easy to integrate with standard data centers. The modular approach allows for upgrades to more powerful quantum processors.

The company plans to launch mass production of computers within the next 5 years. The key processor combines read, compute, and control components into a single repeatable array, and this design can affect the speed of expanding the number of qubits without affecting the physical dimensions.
