A 1950s material just set a modern record for lightning-fast chips
Researchers engineered a strained germanium layer on silicon that allows charge to move faster than in any silicon-compatible material to date. This record mobility could lead to chips that run cooler, faster, and with dramatically lower energy consumption. The discovery also enhances the prospects for silicon-based quantum devices.
How silicon-chip technology is being re-engineered for quantum computing
Nature, Published online: 29 July 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02124-0Two demonstrations of silicon-based quantum processors tackle the engineering challenges of building scalable quantum computers.
In a paper published in Nature, HRL Laboratories presented a silicon quantum processor with a cryogenic CMOS controller that performs real-time error correction without external electronics. The system architecture includes an 18-qubit chip, a controller, and a superconducting ribbon cable...
Researchers have developed a silicon-based quantum processor that can support quantum computing operations and independently perform error correction. This type of system would solve the problem of controlling the large number of qubits required for quantum computing without complex wiring systems supporting [...] This article Perceived: This silicon quantum processor corrects its own errors autonomously appeared first on Trust My Science.
