From the transistor to qubits, silicon marches on
From the very first transistors through the first forays into integrated circuits to today’s billions upon billions of microprocessor chips, silicon has been the backbone that has powered the computing and communications revolution, and today’s information age. Photonic believes that silicon—with its unique properties—will similarly power the imminent epoch of quantum information processing technology, which will surpass the technical advancements of the last half-century. Our revolutionary approach uses the exceptional properties of individual spin qubits in silicon, providing the path to scalability that has eluded quantum architectures until now.
