SEEQC Reports 1st Quantum Computer with Integrated Qubit Control on a Chip at Millikelvin Temperatures
SEEQC announced the first full‑stack quantum computer that integrates superconducting digital control circuitry directly on a chip operating at 10 millikelvin. The five‑qubit processor, paired with a separate SFQ control chip, achieved single‑qubit gate fidelities above 99.5% and demonstrated nanowatt‑scale power dissipation. By generating control pulses locally, the system eliminates thousands of room‑temperature wires, cutting thermal load and interconnect complexity. The results, published in Nature Electronics, validate a scalable architecture that mirrors classical integrated‑circuit design for quantum hardware.
