Start-up hails world's first quantum computer made from everyday silicon — fits in three 19-inch server racks and is touted as 'quantum computing's silicon moment'


Built on a standard CMOS process and packed into three racks, Quantum Motion’s silicon spin-qubit machine is ready to be tested.

Built entirely on a conventional CMOS process, the machine is being pitched as “quantum computing’s silicon moment,” which can be fabricated in commercial foundries and dropped into existing server infrastructure. It also supports existing software frameworks like Qiskit and Cirq, allowing developers to build and run quantum workloads without having to reinvent the tooling. Oxford Ionics installed a trapped-ion setup earlier this year, and several other UK projects are contributing hardware and firmware under the national program.
