In a major technological feat, Archer has now used a single-chip integrated electron spin resonance detector based on CMOS technology to detect the quantum spin states in the as prepared 12CQ qubit material in a controlled atmosphere at room temperature.
Archer has commenced working with GlobalFoundries towards industry fabrication of its ¹²CQ quantum chip technology.
The Australian patent provides Archer with exclusive and legally enforceable commercial rights to the 12CQ chip invention in Australia. The protection provided by the Australian patent system gives Archer the right to stop others from manufacturing, using and/or selling the 12CQ chip technology invention in Australia, and is required for any possible future Australian commercialisation operations.
For the first time, Archer Materials validated that the qubits’ quantum coherence properties‡ are preserved under an inert atmosphere. Quantum coherence is the fundamental requirement for quantum logic operations that are the basis of any quantum computing qubit processor hardware. For potential integration and use of qubit materials in practical chip devices, it is significant to demonstrate and validate qubit robustness at room temperature and under atmospheric environments other than that of air or vacuum.
