TNO and Quobly have started a new research partnership. Their goal is to accelerate the industrialization of silicon spin qubit devices. These devices are key for creating scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers. The partnership unites strengths to tackle a major challenge in quantum hardware. It focuses on turning lab breakthroughs into high-performance, manufacturable quantum processors.
Quobly’s CMOS-compatible quantum chip platform teams up with TNO’s materials science expertise. This collaboration focuses on understanding how material properties and defects influence qubit performance. This integrated device-and-materials approach speeds up design iterations. It reduces development risks. This also helps in creating silicon-based quantum processors on a large scale.
‘Industrializing silicon quantum hardware requires precise and expert insight into materials behavior.’ Said Maud Vinet, CEO and co-founder of Quobly. ‘Partnering with TNO strengthens our ability to identify critical defect mechanisms and shorten development loops, which is essential for bringing silicon spin qubits to large-scale manufacturing.’
