Hitachi, Intel, and AIST Collaborate to Develop 100+ Qubit Silicon-Based Quantum Chip Based on Intel 18A

Hitachi, Intel, and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology have reached a collaboration agreement, planning to develop a silicon-based quantum chip with over 100 qubits based on Intel's 18A process technology.

Existing research indicates that practical fault-tolerant quantum computers require millions of qubits, while the number on a single chip is currently limited. Using mass production processes compatible with standard silicon-based semiconductors to manufacture quantum chips is a potential solution to the scaling challenge.

This collaboration aims to conduct basic technology development, improving the integration and manufacturing efficiency of quantum chips through advanced processes, and promoting the industrialization of quantum computing hardware.

As a frontier computing power technology, quantum computing is expected to deeply integrate with artificial intelligence in the future, providing new computing support in scenarios such as quantum machine learning, representing an important direction in the evolution of computing chips.
