Pitarke, nanoGUNE’s director-general. “We look forward to advancing the future of quantum computing in collaboration with Quantum Motion.”Article contentQuantum Motion and CIC nanoGUNE are jointly collaborating on initiatives focused on delivering fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum systems in Europe, including:Article contentQuDos – A prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant project awarded to Gonzalez-Zalba focused on using semiconductor quantum dots as the basis for building ultra-low-power microwave qubit control and readout electronics for quantum computers.SPINS Consortium – The Semiconducting Pilot Line for Industrial quantum nanoSystems, which is bringing together leading European research and technology organizations to deliver semiconductor quantum chips with high manufacturing and technology readiness levels. Quantum Motion, in collaboration with nanoGUNE, is focusing on the integration of quantum and classical electronics on a monolithic chip.Article content“The Basque Country has one of the strongest ecosystems globally when it comes to the development of quantum technologies,” said Fernando Gonzalez-Zalba, principal engineer at Quantum Motion and Ikerbasque research professor at CIC nanoGUNE. “We look forward to building the next generation of quantum processing units based on silicon manufactured in industrial 300 mm wafer lines, as well as deploying and servicing systems throughout Europe.”Article contentArticle contentAbout CIC nanoGUNEArticle contentThe Nanoscience Cooperative Research Center (CIC) nanoGUNE, located in the Basque city of San Sebastian, was established with the mission of conducting world-class nanoscience research for the competitive growth of the Basque Country. nanoGUNE is recognized by the Spanish Research Agency as a Maria-de-Maeztu center of excellence.Article content www.nanogune.euArticle contentAbout Quantum MotionArticle contentQuantum Motion develops and deploys full-stack quantum computers manufactured using industry standard 300mm CMOS wafer technology with the goal of delivering commercially viable, utility scale, fault tolerant systems. A key part of this approach is the development of cryoelectronics, integrating qubits with classical control circuits capable of operating at deep cryogenic temperatures, which enables extreme scaling of quantum processors. Fault-tolerant quantum computing will enable the most powerful quantum algorithms, targeting solutions to currently intractable problems in fields as diverse as chemistry, materials science, medicine and artificial intelligence. The company employs over 100 people across the UK, US, Australia and Europe and comprises specialists in quantum theory, hardware and system engineering and software.
