Press Release – Jülich Research Center has entered into an important development partnership with ARQUE Systems. As part of this partnership, a patented quantum computer with a 5-qubit quantum processor will be integrated into the research platform JUNIQ (Julich Unified Infrastructure for Quantum Computing) at the Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC) next year. It is scheduled to be done. Semiconductor-based quantum computers are already being designed to scale up to hundreds of qubits in the future.
Current quantum chips are highly sensitive to environmental influences, making it difficult to build stable and error-free quantum computers. Since thousands of physical qubits are required to create a few error-free logical units, error correction requires millions of qubits. However, scaling from the current 1,000 qubits to 1 million qubits is an extremely difficult task.
ARQUE Systems Solutions
ARQUE Systems uses semiconductor qubits based on transistor-like structures. Instead of a traditional switch, it captures a single electron and uses its spin as a quantum computing unit. This technology is closely related to existing semiconductor manufacturing methods. To develop scalable structures and qubits, ARQUE Systems is collaborating with FZJ and Infineon Dresden’s Helmholtz Nanofacility.
The main advantages of semiconductor qubits are their small size and the ability to integrate classical control electronics with the qubit unit on a semiconductor chip in tiles of about 100 µm². Chips can be built with millions of such tiles, but this requires connections between tiles. ARQUE Systems addresses this challenge by enabling the movement of qubits on chips. Electrons are transported over several micrometers along a so-called shuttle path, like a conveyor belt, without losing the information encoded in their spin. Based on this principle, ARQUE uses a unique patented processor architecture published in the renowned journal Nature Communications. This technology has the potential to integrate millions of qubits on a single square centimeter chip, including the necessary infrastructure such as connectivity and control electronics.
