CryoCMOS
Measurement and control moves to the quantum layer.

Control electronics traditionally sit outside the quantum system, introducing latency, noise and complexity.

Equal1 pioneered CryoCMOS: classical logic that operates at cryogenic temperatures. In UnityQ, it sits directly beside the qubits, bringing measurement and correction to the quantum layer itself.

At quantum scale, proximity unlocks performance. In UnityQ, less distance means lower latency, cleaner signals and correction fast enough to protect the computation.

Low-latency foundation for real-time error correction

Real-time correction, built into the architecture.

The first quantum processor with real-time error correction built-in.

Error correction is not just a software problem. It is an architecture problem. When control logic and qubits share the same chip, distance collapses, overhead drops and correction happens in real time.

Towards fault tolerance at scale

More qubits. More protection. Every generation.


As UnityQ scales, more physical qubits are devoted to each logical qubit, increasing code distance and strengthening fault tolerance with every upgrade.

UnityQ does not just become more powerful. It becomes more reliable.

Built for the workloads ahead

UnityQ is designed to scale through repeatable quantum tiles, each with its own qubits, control and logic. As generations advance, those tiles can operate in parallel, opening the path to larger quantum workloads on-chip.

How Can Spin Qubit Transport Be Optimized for Scalable Quantum Architectures?

Scalable quantum architecture for spin qubits will require efficient and reliable movement of qubits across increasingly complex architectures. This work introduces a physics-informed optimization approach to conveyor-mode spin qubit transport, leveraging device-level insights to improve transport fidelity and efficiency. By incorporating physical constraints directly into the optimization process, the method enables more realistic and scalable designs for qubit movement. It provides a pathway toward integrating high-performance qubit transport mechanisms within larger quantum computing systems.

Can Fully Tunable Quantum Dot Systems Be Realized in Advanced CMOS Processes?

Spin qubits and quantum dot arrays require precise control over qubit interactions and reliable readout mechanisms within scalable hardware platforms. This work demonstrates fully tunable tunnel-coupled quantum dots and integrated charge sensing in a commercial 22nm FD-SOI process. By enabling fine control over coupling and charge detection within a standard semiconductor technology, the approach supports the realization of complex and scalable quantum circuits. It highlights the potential of advanced CMOS nodes to host high-performance quantum devices while maintaining compatibility with industrial fabrication processes.

Can Reconfigurable Quantum Dot Arrays Be Realized in CMOS Technology?

Future quantum technologies will depend on scalable and manufacturable hardware that can be integrated with existing semiconductor processes.

Can Spin Qubits Operate at the Error Correction Threshold in Realistic Conditions?

Quantum computers will require qubits that operate reliably within the limits imposed by error correction and practical hardware constraints. This work experimentally characterizes Si/SiGe spin qubits demonstrating high-fidelity single- and two-qubit operations at elevated temperatures compatible with integrated cryogenic electronics. By performing benchmarking, state tomography, and entanglement generation, the study shows that qubit performance can reach the error correction threshold even under realistic thermal conditions. This represents an important step toward scalable quantum systems where qubits and control electronics can be co-integrated.

What Quantum Error Correction May Look Like for Spin Qubits with Shuttling?

Future quantum computers will rely on error correction, which in turn requires increased connectivity between qubits. To meet this demand, the proposed approach combines qubit shuttling with error-correction requirements, enabling more flexible and scalable architectures. By optimizing the physical layout starting from the constraints of the surface code, the work outlines a practical pathway toward efficient spin-based quantum processors. It also shows that near-optimal designs can be achieved with linear computational complexity, making the method applicable beyond small-scale demonstrations.
