Researchers from VTT Technical Research Centre announced their revolutionary technology for quantum computers today. Known as SemiQon, the quantum processor chip is made from silicon semiconductors<\/a> \u2013 a stark contrast to current approaches, which are usually modelled making non-standard materials.<\/p>\n Because the new processor chips are much more scalable and easier to manufacture, building quantum processors that will require millions of qubits for fault-tolerant operation could be a thing of the past. Moreover, the chips can function at warmer temperatures, making them more operable and sustainable.<\/p>\n There are currently less than 100 quantum computers in the world due to scalability issues \u2013 they can cost more than \u20ac10m to build. However, recent advancements have seen scientists try to find out how quantum computers can be scaled up<\/a>.<\/p>\n SemiQon\u2019s approach of using relatively inexpensive and easy-to-replicate silicon quantum dot-based technology answers that challenge. Himadri Majumdar, CEO of SemiQon, stated: \u201cOur solution responds to three significant challenges currently slowing down the development of quantum computers globally \u2013 their scalability, price, and sustainability.<\/p>\nWhy is the production of quantum technology so limited?<\/h3>\n
