In-depth characterization of a 6 qubit quantum processor

Equal1 aims to democratize quantum computing by making it accessible and affordable with its innovative quantum silicon technology. By integrating the entire quantum computing system onto a single chip, Equal1 aims to significantly reduce the size and cost of quantum computers, transforming their performance and scalability. Our technology is based on silicon spin qubits integrated with classical control electronics using standard microelectronics foundry processes. Silicon spin qubits made in academic labs have already demonstrated key milestones including single and two qubit gates above the error correction threshold [1-2]. Fault tolerant quantum computing will require taking the technology to the next step by building similar devices in an industrial foundry process, unlocking the unlimited capability of the microelectronics industry for scaling. Recently, Equal1 unveiled Bell-1, the first-ever rack-mounted silicon quantum computer loaded with a 6 qubit quantum processor [3]. This project aims to perform an in-depth characterization of our 6 qubits QPU to give us more insight on its performance.
