memQ, Inc. today announced that their research paper on deterministic placement of Erbium (Er) atoms (which the company uses for quantum qubits) on a silicon platform has been published in Applied Physics Letters.
The company uses this process to embed rare-earth ions on a commercial silicon base in harnessing atomic particles for quantum computing using commercial manufacturing methods. Deterministic placement is one of the challenges for any solid state qubit platform, and this research marks a new milestone in the maturation of memQ’s solid state technology.
