A collaboration has been announced by Infineon Technologies AG and Oxford Ionics to build fully integrated quantum processing units (QPUs). Along with Oxford Ionics’ electronic qubit control (EQC) technology and Infineon’s manufacturing capabilities, the foundations for QPUs will be laid. Within the next 5 years, this industrial production is offering hundreds of qubit. The collaboration is to move quantum computing technology out of the research lab into real industrial solutions.
Chris Ballance, Co-Founder of Oxford Ionics, says “The great challenge in quantum computing is scaling whilst improving performance. There are technologies that can be fabricated at scale but don’t perform, and there are technologies that perform but don’t scale. Working with Infineon and its mature and flexible semiconductor process, allows us to speed up the accessibility of a commercial QPU.”
Stephan Schaecher, Director of New Application, Innovation, and Quantum Computing at Infineon Technologies Industrial Division says, “The role of Infineon is to take the ground-breaking work of Oxford Ionics to scale properly towards meaningful qubit counts and low error rates.”
The first Oxford Ionics devices will be cloud accessible by the end of 2022, offering commercial players access to these cutting-edge Quantum Computers.
