Chipmaker GlobalFoundries (GF) and UK-based quantum computing company Quantum Motion have partnered to develop quantum processors based on a scalable silicon platform. The two companies said GF had manufactured a silicon chip designed by Quantum Motion that is “at least 100 times faster than the current state of the art” offerings.
“Our work with GlobalFoundries has enabled us to demonstrate that scalable manufacturing techniques are compatible with the stringent demands of quantum computing,” said James Palles-Dimmock, CEO of Quantum Motion. “This achievement shows that silicon-based quantum chips can be fabricated using established semiconductor processes, bridging the gap between quantum research and industrial-scale production.”
Ted Letavic, SVP and corporate fellow at GlobalFoundries added: “This collaboration is an example of how GlobalFoundries is leveraging its differentiated technologies, such as our 22FDX technology platform, to drive advancements that will help shape the future of quantum computing.
“We are extremely encouraged by the results demonstrated by Quantum Motion which show that our process technology and our advanced 22FDX platform are robust enough to enable innovative quantum structures. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Quantum Motion to support their vision of a scalable monolithic quantum processor.”
