Warwick researchers have proposed using compressively strained germanium-on-silicon to create a "quantum bus" that connects distant qubits via phonons across 300mm chips. This approach directly tackles the scalability bottleneck of long-range connectivity, which is essential for future processors targeting millions of qubits. By integrating this communication method into standard semiconductor materials rather than relying on external microwave links, the design offers a viable path toward compact and cost-effective quantum hardware.
Warwick Researchers Build Quantum Bus In Push For 1M Qubits

Warwick researchers developed Quantum Phononic Links (QPLs) using compressively strained germanium on silicon, cs-GoS, to connect qubits across a 300mm chip.
Researchers at The University of Warwick and NRC Canada are proposing a new communication system for quantum computers using sound-like vibrations within a specialized material. The…
