Intel Quantum
“Silicon spin qubits — quantum meets the fab.”
Building silicon spin qubits that could ride the same manufacturing miracle that made classical chips ubiquitous.
Silicon spin qubits are tiny — potentially millions per die if the fab curve holds.
The Story
Intel invests $50M in quantum research with QuTech at TU Delft.
Unveils Horse Ridge, a cryogenic control chip that lives inside the fridge with the qubits.
Ships Tunnel Falls, a 12-qubit silicon spin test chip, to university researchers.
Demonstrates high-yield 300mm wafer fabrication of quantum-grade silicon qubits.
