With an investment of US $ 640 million, PSQUATUM is planning to build a quantum computer with a million quobit phroton, larger than any current machine.

PSANTUM is a quantum computer starting company based in Brisbane, Australia, and has just received an investment worth US $ 640 million from the Australian Federal government. They just started to build a basis to place quantum computers in the 13 -hectare area near Brisbane airport. PSANTUM thinks they can defeat Google, IBM and many other big names in the quantum computer industry, according to New Scientist.
PSANTUM does not participate in the mid -range quantum computer (NISQ), in which companies participate in the manufacture of the machine up to 1,000 quobites, prone to errors and have limited practical applications. According to them, the NISQ era is a technological wonder but has little practical use value.
Instead, Psiquantum plans to increase the scale rapidly to produce a one million quobit machine in 2027, larger than any other computer that exists today. Focusing on quantum computer phroton, they need to control the light particles according to quantum state, acting as a quobit in the computer, similar to semiconductor balls on traditional computers.
The above comparison is suitable because PSANTUM is using the same type of semiconductor production technique to create a large number of extremely small semiconductor balls in the regular computer chip. PsQuantum sought to minimize nano all the necessary photons and produce by technology used to create laptops and mobile phones.
PSANTUM is cooperating with the manufacturer of Globalfoundries chip in the US to make their photon chips. One of the microchips is developed to control and filter the photon in the device of PSANTUM. This approach is aimed at taking advantage of the benefits from dozens of years of experience in producing chips and controlling light state. Some other technologies can become a quantum computer’s platform, including superconducting materials and ions, but photons can be more sustainable than those methods. According to Terry Rudolph, one of the 4 co -founders of the company, the combination of effective industrial potential on a large scale and the resistance of interference of the photon light turns into a convincing choice for useful quantum computers. Firstly.
However, PSANTUM will have to overcome challenges in the manufacture of microwaves operating at room temperature and deep space temperature. Another key breakthrough is to produce filters that can block unwanted light from photon sources but let the quobit photon transmitted. Many difficulties still exist, especially in the integration of millions of parts and optimizes the quobit phroton. PSANTUM must produce tens of thousands of phroton chips and connect them to more than 1,000 km of optical fiber. Once completed, the phroton quantum computer will cover the area of 100,000 m2, including frozen equipment to cool the machinery.
