This Wednesday Quantum News covers new funding for quantum chip and security ventures, Microsoft’s hardware developments, and enterprise-level cryptography steps. Industry leaders like Eeroq and D-Wave share forward-looking projects, while Rigetti and IonQ prepare to report earnings.
emiQon has announced the release of the world’s first transistor capable of efficient operation in cryogenic conditions. This innovation reduces heat dissipation by a factor of 1,000, aiding the scalability of quantum computers to fault-tolerant levels. The transistors can be mass-produced using existing CMOS fabrication facilities, facilitating adoption without new infrastructure.
SemiQon, a Finland-based startup specializing in silicon-based quantum processors, has achieved a significant advance in the field of quantum computing. Today, they proudly announced the successful production and pre-testing of a 4-qubit quantum dot array from their state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. These cutting-edge chips are now being dispatched to strategic partners worldwide, marking a decisive step towards accelerating research and development in quantum computing.
