New EU Quantum Flagship consortium launches a project on silicon spin qubits as a platform for large-scale quantum computing

New EU Quantum Flagship consortium launches a project on silicon spin qubits

The QLSI consortium, a four-year EU project coordinated by CEA-Leti, aims to position Europe as a global leader in quantum computing by developing scalable silicon-based quantum processors, including a 16-qubit chip and an 8-qubit open-access system, while documenting requirements for systems exceeding 1,000 qubits as part of the €1 billion Quantum Flagship program.

QuTech, KPN, SURF and OPNT join forces to build a quantum network

QuTech, KPN, SURF and OPNT join forces to build a quantum network

QuTech, KPN, SURF and OPNT are launching a collaboration designed to make significant progress in building a first ever quantum network connecting the Randstad, i.e. one of the main metropolitan regions in The Netherlands. The project will focus on connecting different quantum processors, a significant distance apart, over a Dutch network. The aim is to build the very first fully functional quantum network using high-speed fibre connections.
