Diraq, a startup from the University of New South Wales, and European research group Imec have demonstrated that silicon quantum chips can be manufactured using standard semiconductor techniques. Published in Nature, their breakthrough showcases over 99% accuracy in two-qubit gate operations—critical for quantum computing—and 99.9% precision in state preparation and measurement.
The chips were fabricated on Imec’s 300mm silicon platform, leveraging isotopically enriched silicon to minimize noise. Consistent results across multiple units confirm scalability beyond lab settings. Diraq CEO Andrew Dzurak emphasizes this as proof that quantum devices can maintain precision at commercial scale using existing semiconductor infrastructure.
