Technology
At Qolab, we are at the cutting edge of quantum computing, with a focus on developing superconducting qubits that are reliable, scalable, and capable of addressing real-world computational challenges. Superconducting qubits are among the most promising technologies for achieving quantum advantage due to their potential for long coherence times, low error rates, and compatibility with existing semiconductor fabrication processes. Our technology is designed with a clear goal in mind: to build utility-scale quantum computers that can perform computations beyond the reach of classical systems.
- Fabrication:
Qolab uses the latest 300mm semiconductor processes, which produce better interfaces resulting in higher quality qubits.
- Scaling:
We are developing new on-chip scaling techniques to significantly lower the cost of scaling up qubits.
- Qubit Design:
Proprietary qubit designs tailored for our specific processes result in long coherence times and consistency of qubits across the wafer.
- Qubit Control:
Mature understanding of 2-qubit gate operations leading to efficient and scalable QC.
- Other Improvements:
Improvements to and know-how in designing and fabricating other non-qubit design related components of the quantum computer to reduce noise and crosstalk between components and systems.
