Intel Speeds Up Testing Toward Goal of Quantum Chips With Billions of Qubits | NextBigFuture.com

Intel is working on spin qubit quantum computer technology. Spin qubit transistors would be about the same size as existing CMOS transistors. The spin qubits would have the potential to have comparable density to the existing traditional computer chips. In April, 2020, Intel, in collaboration with Qutech, published a paper in Nature demonstrating the successful control of “hot” qubits, the fundamental unit of quantum computing, at temperatures greater than 1 kelvin. The research also highlighted individual coherent control of two qubits with single-qubit fidelities of up to 99.3%. Spectrum IEEE interviewed Intel’s Jim Clarke, Intel Director of Quantum Hardware.
