Silicon could enable mass production of quantum computing

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A new silicon-based approach to quantum computing could make the technology easier to mass-produce. Scientists at the University of Bristol’s Centre for Quantum Photonics, leading an international collaboration, made the leap from glass-based circuits to silicon by developing quantum chips from the workhorse semiconductor material used to build electrical processors in all computers and smartphones. An example of the silicon quantum chip next to a 20-pence coin. “Using silicon to manipulate light, we have made circuits over 1000 times smaller than current...Read full article
