Imec & Diraq Demo First Coherent Operation of 8 Silicon MOS Spin Qubi…

Imec and Diraq have demonstrated coherent operation of an eight-qubit silicon spin-qubit array fabricated on a 300mm CMOS-compatible manufacturing platform, proving that industrial semiconductor processes can scale quantum processors beyond single and paired qubits. The breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, shows that quantum devices can maintain coherence and controllability whilst scaling on existing foundry infrastructure. You can now build quantum processors on the same production lines that make ordinary chips—and imec has just proven eight qubits work reliably at scale using standard CMOS tools. If you're selling control electronics, cryogenic systems, or classical compute for quantum, your customers just moved from buying one-off lab kit to planning foundry runs.
