A UK startup has made a revolutionary advancement after delivering the world’s first full-stack quantum computer, built using the same silicon chip technology found in smartphones and laptops.
London-based Quantum Motion, a quantum computing startup that develops scalable quantum computing tech using silicon, launched the industry’s first full-stack quantum computer made with silicon. It was deployed at the UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC).
This is reportedly the first quantum computer to be built using the standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip fabrication process which is the same transistor technology used in conventional computers.
A key part of this approach is building cryoelectronics that connect qubits with control circuits that work at very low temperatures, making it possible to scale up quantum processors greatly.
“This is quantum computing’s silicon moment,” James Palles‑Dimmock, Quantum Motion’s CEO, stated. “Today’s announcement demonstrates you can build a robust, functional quantum computer using the world’s most scalable technology, which can be mass-produced.”
