Project description
Quantum computing with scalable photonics technology
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise industries, from healthcare to climate action, but it faces major challenges. Current quantum technologies rely on bulky, rigid hardware and require extreme cooling to function, which limits their use. Additionally, these systems suffer from noise and decoherence, making them unreliable for practical applications. As a result, quantum computing is still far from being widely accessible or scalable. The EIC-funded QUQUP project aims to solve these issues by developing the first scalable universal quantum processor based on photonics technology. This innovation will make quantum computing more practical and accessible, with the goal of bringing the product to market by 2026.
Objective
Quantum computing is a technological revolution that will unleash the most dramatic changes in our everyday lives since the invention of the internet. Quantum computing has the power to impact every major global industry, from pharmaceutical research to climate action and personalized healthcare to space travel. However, today’s quantum technologies still suffer several drawbacks. They require cumbersome and rigid hardware, such as cooling to almost absolute zero, and suffer from both noise and decoherence. QuiX Quantum is bringing to market the first scalable universal quantum processor based on our disruptive photonics innovation. For the first time, we will be offering a scalable, marketable universal quantum processor that can be adopted by companies, research institutes, and government organizations to change the world in which we live. We are seeking EIC support in the form of blended finance to bring our first universal quantum processor product to market as early as 2026.
