Researchers develop new method embedding atoms one-by-one to build quantum chip

[39.927]

Australian researchers have developed a new silicon construction technique that could potentially improve the affordability and reliability of building quantum computers. The new technique involves embedding single atoms one-by-one in silicon wafers. It takes advantage of the precision of the atomic microscope, which has a sharp cantilever that "touches" the surface of a chip with a positioning accuracy of just half a nanometre, which is about the same space between atoms in a silicon crystal. The researchers used equipment including sensitive x-ray detectors, an atomic force microscope that was originally developed for the Rosetta space mission, to develop the technique.
