Intel releases horse ridge chip: 22nm process, which can control multiple qubits

12 month 10 Daily news According to Intel official news , Intel research released the code name “Horse Ridge” The first low temperature controlled quantum chip , It realizes the control of multiple qubits .

Intel Express ,Horse Ridge Based on Intel 22 nanometer FinFET technology , Intel and QuTech（ Founded by Delft University of technology and the National Academy of Applied Sciences ） Jointly developed Horse Ridge. The manufacturing of control chip is finished in Intel , Officials say it will greatly improve Intel's design 、 The ability to test and optimize commercially viable quantum computers .

Intel said in a press release that , adopt Horse Ridge, Intel radically simplifies the control electronics needed to run quantum systems . By using highly integrated system chips （SoC） To replace these huge instruments , Will simplify system design , And allows the use of complex signal processing techniques to speed up setup time 、 Improve qubit performance , And the system can efficiently expand to more qubits .

Horse Ridge It's a highly integrated mixed signal system chip , It introduces qubit control into the quantum refrigerator , As close as possible to the qubit itself .Horse Ridge It effectively reduces the complexity of quantum control engineering , From hundreds of cables going in and out of the refrigerator to a single integrated package running near quantum devices .
