Silicon Spin Qubits: How Transistor Tech Becomes Quantum

Learn how silicon spin qubits trap single electrons in CMOS transistors to create quantum bits for scalable quantum computing.

Silicon spin qubits are quantum bits built from single electrons trapped in silicon chips, using the same manufacturing found in smartphones and computers. This blog explains how the most manufactured material in computing history became a platform for quantum processing and why Quantum Motion uses standard CMOS to build its quantum computers. The silicon transistor is one of the most consequential inventions in human history. In 1954, there was one on the planet. Today, there are more silicon transistors on Earth than human cells. Every piece of technology you interact with, from…
