Equal1, the silicon quantum computing company, today announced that with 25 U.S. and international patents granted and an additional 17 patents pending, Equal1 is now one of the top patent holders in quantum computing globally.

Jason Lynch, CEO of Equal1: "Scalability is the reason the industry is shifting to quantum silicon. Computing performance has always advanced mainly through advances in silicon, and quantum computers will be no different. This is why being a top patent holder in silicon quantum computing is critical in the next phase of scaling and commercializing quantum computing."

Equal1 is the first quantum company to successfully fabricate quantum-on-chip processors using standard commercial CMOS processes. Proven in silicon, their third-generation quantum processor integrates an entire quantum system—qubits, control, and read-out—on a single silicon chip.

Key patents include:

• US11214484: "Planar quantum structures utilizing quantum particle tunneling through local depleted well."
• US11202526: "Reprogrammable quantum processor architecture incorporating quantum error correction."
• US11423322: "Integrated quantum computer incorporating quantum core and associated classical control circuitry."
