To achieve previously unheard-of performance advantages and enable quantum computer scaling, the partnership investigates the integration of Silicon Light Machines’ innovative MEMS Displacement Phase Modulator (DPM) technology into Infleqtion’s neutral atom quantum computing systems.
This news comes after it was announced that Infleqtion intends to merge with Churchill Capital Corp X in order to become public.
High-speed, non-contact piston phase modulators are integrated into CMOS drivers by SLM’s silicon-germanium (SiGe) MEMS technology to improve performance and dependability. Faster phase modulation is made possible by these advancements, which are essential for sophisticated quantum applications including individual qubit addressing, optical multiplexing, and scalable laser processing.
Paul Morton, CTO Photonics at Infleqtion, stated that integrated photonics is essential to the company’s plan to develop neutral atom systems and bring quantum technologies to market. Advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs) will be used in our next generation of quantum goods to reduce size, lower costs, and improve durability in three crucial areas: atom addressing, frequency control, and laser systems. Our neutral atom quantum computing architecture, which uses rapid and scalable atom addressing, has advanced with the SLM DPM device.
High-speed, high-fidelity operations across large-scale qubit systems are made possible by Infleqtion’s neutral atom quantum computers, which handle thousands of individually trapped atoms using laser-based optical tweezers. Advanced features that are essential for scalable, fault-tolerant computing are supported by this architecture, such as dual-species arrays for low-overhead mid-circuit measurement and effective error correction.
According to Thomas Noel, Vice President of Quantum Computing at Infleqtion, “Infleqtion is at the forefront of scaling neutral atom quantum systems.” “By improving our hardware’s operating speed and eventually cutting down on our customers’ application runtime, we are investigating how Silicon Light Machines’ DPM’s speed and flexibility will help us accelerate that leadership.”
Enhancing the essential photonics components and technologies required to successfully scale Infleqtion’s neutral atom quantum computer is the goal of the collaboration and DPM integration.
According to Silicon Light Machines CEO Lars Eng, “quantum computing is moving from theory to transformation.” “The accuracy and speed required to satisfy the scaling requirements of neutral atom systems are provided by our DPM technology. We are honored to collaborate with Infleqtion to further the practical uses of quantum technology.
