GlobalFoundries launches quantum chip manufacturing with $375M grant

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

GlobalFoundries has launched a dedicated quantum computing manufacturing business, Quantum Technology Solutions, backed by a $375 million CHIPS R&D grant. This initiative aims to establish a supply chain for quantum processors, moving the field from bespoke science projects to a scalable industry. The business will support various quantum computing approaches, including photonics, trapped ions, and silicon spin qubits, by leveraging standard 300mm production lines. AI

IMPACT Establishes a foundational supply chain for quantum processors, potentially accelerating the development and adoption of quantum computing capabilities.
