Delta Gold Technologies and Penn State Partner on Scalable Gold-Based Quantum Materials Research

Delta Gold Technologies has entered a three‑year research sponsorship and exclusive licensing deal with Penn State University to develop gold‑nanocluster quantum materials. The collaboration, also involving the University of Toronto, demonstrates tunable spin polarization ranging from 7 % to 40 % and identifies 19 Rydberg‑like spin states, positioning these “super atoms” as a scalable solid‑state alternative to trapped‑ion qubits. Delta will fund the program with $2,991,426 and secure a sublicensable license, with royalties kicking in after $20 million in net sales. The partnership aims to create a Centre of Excellence for manufacturable quantum‑computing components.
