“Building useful quantum computers requires scaling from dozens to millions of qubits, and that means we need not just more qubits but also reliable, manufacturable supporting hardware,” says Professor Martinis, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of Qolab. “Singapore's strong capabilities in advanced semiconductor manufacturing make it an ideal partner for Qolab as we develop critical components that will support the next generation of quantum computing.”
Singapore is deepening its push in the global quantum race by partnering with Qolab, a start-up co-founded by 2025 Physics Nobel Laureate Professor John M. Martinis, to tackle a key engineering bottleneck.
Researchers at the National Quantum Federated Foundry (NQFF) have signed a collaboration agreement with Qolab to develop cryogenic low-pass filters for quantum processor chips. The research focuses on addressing a critical constraint in building larger, more powerful quantum computers.
