Diraq's expansion of its Santa Monica engineering hub signals a strategic pivot toward scaling silicon spin-qubit processors using standard CMOS foundry processes. By integrating IC design, cryogenic CMOS architecture, and machine learning into this new facility, the company aims to leverage existing semiconductor infrastructure to overcome interconnect bottlenecks in quantum hardware. This move represents a significant step in making quantum computing more manufacturable and scalable through commercial fabrication routes.
Diraq Launches Engineering Hub in Santa Monica to Accelerate Silicon Spin-Qubit Roadmap

Silicon quantum computing developer Diraq has officially opened its U.S. Technology Hub in Santa Monica, California. Launching with a 20-person engineering team, the new facility targets integrated circuit (IC) design, cryogenic CMOS architecture, device modeling, and machine learning. Diraq plans to double the hub's headcount over the next 12 months to support the trans-Pacific scaling [...] The post Diraq Launches Engineering Hub in Santa Monica to Accelerate Silicon Spin-Qubit Roadmap appeared first on Quantum Computing Report.
