Intel has produced a new quantum processor called Tunnel Falls, which has been made available to quantum researchers. This 12 qubit chip makes heavy quantum processing faster.
Along with the release of Tunnel Falls, Intel has announced a collaboration with the Physical Sciences Laboratory of the University of Maryland College Park. The main goal of this collaboration is to advance research in the field of quantum computing.
Intel’s head of quantum hardware says Tunnel Falls is the company’s “most advanced quantum chip in history” and is infused with decades of experience in transistor design and chip manufacturing. Tunnel Falls is a serious step towards achieving Intel’s big goal: building a commercial quantum system.
According to Neowin, Intel and the University of Maryland College Park Physical Sciences Laboratory are also working with the US Army Research Office to help the military benefit from the new quantum chip. The collaboration also includes Sandia National Laboratories, the University of Rochester, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The aforementioned universities and research laboratories do not have the necessary capacity to produce a quantum chip, that is why Intel has undertaken the task of building Tunnel Falls. This processor is made of 300 mm wafers and is based on modern technologies such as EUV.
Intel has already started working on its next generation quantum processor and hopes to launch it next year.
