Archer extends partnership with Queen Mary University of London to advance qubit development
Archer Materials, a semiconductor company advancing the quantum technology and medical diagnostics industries, has extended its relationship with Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to build on critical milestone work for qubit demonstration, as part of Archer’s quantum technology program. The cost of the six month extension is estimated at around A$279,000 or £136,000.
Work already completed with QMUL has reportedly been a key part of Archer’s development program. The work being done with QMUL, combined with
Archer’s demonstration of coupling of spins to superconducting resonator micro-devices, provides the first building blocks for both readout and control of the electron spins in a qubit. Archer has introduced the CQ chip and in working with QMUL, it is improving the functionality of this project by using graphene to make electrical contact with the carbon nanosphere spin material.
