UK startup build's first quantum computer using same silicon chip fabrication tech as your laptop or phone - Yanko Design
"A London-based startup, Quantum Motion, has created what is being hailed as the world's first full-stack quantum computer, utilizing the silicon chip fabrication technology that is customary in computers and smartphones. The computer installed at the National Quantum Computing Center (NQCC) in the UK provides scalable quantum computing technology and is hailed as 'quantum computing's silicon moment.'"
"The "announcement" of this system, which can be fabricated in commercial foundries, James Palles‑Dimmock, Quantum Motion's CEO said, "demonstrates" that "you can build a robust, functional quantum computer using the world's most scalable technology, which can be mass-produced.""
"Quantum Motion launched this full-stack quantum computer made with silicon on September 15. It is a three-rack system (comprising standard 19-inch racks) that has been developed in association with the UK government, which is pushing hard to commercialize scalable quantum hardware. Fitted in the data center-friendly form factor is the dilution refrigerator and integrated control electronics. QM has also developed cryoelectronics to connect the qubits to the control circuits, which operate at very low temperatures, making the system capable of greatly upscaling quantum processes, the company notes."
Quantum Motion built a full-stack quantum computer using standard 300mm silicon CMOS wafer technology to enable mass manufacturability. The system is installed at the National Quantum Computing Center (NQCC) in the UK and targets scalable quantum deployment. The hardware is packaged in a three-rack, data-center-friendly form factor that integrates a dilution refrigerator and control electronics. Cryoelectronics link qubits to control circuits operating at very low temperatures to support upscaling. The system runs on a silicon-based Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) and includes a user interface and control stack that supports software frameworks such as Qiskit and Cirq.
