Quantum computing is known for the use of strange rules quantum physics to perform quick and accurate calculations for more complex problems. Because of this, a quantum computer is more suited to run calculations that a normal computer cannot compute at an efficient rate.
Quantum Motion has recently created a full-stack quantum computer built from standard silicon CMOS chip fabrication, and they state that their new computer is a leap forward for the world of quantum computing.
The New Computer
The company announced on Monday that their new hardware uses mass-manufacturable 300mm silicon CMOS wafer technology. The hardware has been deployed at the UKRI National Quantum Computing Centre in London, capable of quantum processing, controlling electronics for managing qubit operations, a software stack, and user interface.
Quantum Motion states that this new hardware is on the road to bring useful quantum computers to the market within the decade. The company’s President and Chief Commercial Officer, Hugo Saleh, states that the hardware is handy for customers, users, and developers alike.
Compared to Competing Computers
Until recently, silicon-based quantum computer development have fallen behind. Superconducting and atom-based technologies have been ahead in the game, so Quantum Motion hopes that their new development will give quantum computing a lead.
The company states that their system uses spin qubits to store and manipulate information using the spin of electrons. The technology produced could potentially scale much better than the competition.
However, despite these advancements, there are still some things to note about quantum computing in general.
Room for Error?
Some experts still believe that quantum computing has still to reach full potential, and thus, it is too early to know how efficiently this new quantum computer can run.
Yuval Boger, chief commercial officer QuEra Computing has noted that there are promising approaches to building a silicon quantum computer. However, he also stated the challenges that remain present with quantum computing.
According to Boger, error correction, system reliability, and manufacturability still determine a timeline for results to be produced. Error correction is a common, but huge problem when it comes to quantum computers. In addition, quantum systems still require advanced cryogenics, complex control electronics, and precise calibration; these factors act as cost and engineering barriers for the developers.
The Problem with Encryption
Austin Bosarge, the co-founder and chief corporate officer and head of federal at QuSecure, states that the primary concern is the timeline for when quantum computers will be capable of breaking encryption.
It is believed that by the year 2029, the probability of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will be developed enough for organizations to properly use. However, despite the leaps forward in quantum computers, the devices are not yet to the point where they can function through encryption efficiently.
With advancements made by companies like Quantum Motion, the road to completing quantum computers slowly but surely comes one-step closer to completion.
