China Masters Mass Production of Quantum Microchip Material
Subscribe
Ultra-pure silicon-28 is a key material for quantum microchips, essential for next-generation computing.
Chinese researchers have produced silicon-28 with more than 99.99% isotopic purity for the first time
It significantly reduces environmental quantum noise interference in quantum computing
The breakthrough also supports advanced chip-making, high-end navigation and precision measurement technologies
Researchers have now developed 26 stable isotopes of different 12 elements for applications ranging from nuclear medicine to aircraft and deep-space exploration
The advance is a milestone in the Chinese drive for critical technology and reduce reliance on imports.
