This German startup wants to build portable quantum computers using diamonds - and says its QPU will sit next to a GPU or a CPU one day
- Quantum Brilliance, a startup in Germany and Australia, aims to build portable quantum computers using diamond-based quantum processing units (QPUs).
- Diamonds are crucial for quantum tech due to their unique properties, and Quantum Brilliance plans to integrate QPUs alongside GPUs and CPUs for seamless usage.
- QPUs could enhance AI inference speed and cost efficiency compared to conventional hardware systems.
- The company envisions hybrid systems combining CPUs, Nvidia GPUs, and diamond QPUs, revolutionizing quantum software development.
- Despite the promise, technical and commercial obstacles remain before the seamless integration of quantum computing alongside traditional computing components.
- Researchers have focused on producing high-purity synthetic diamonds to reduce impurities for quantum applications, such as leveraging nitrogen vacancies for qubits.
- Quantum Brilliance's approach diverges from the trend of million-qubit systems, aiming for practical use cases like AI inference and sparse data processing.
- Collaborations with institutions like the Fraunhofer Institute and Oak Ridge National Laboratory signify advancements in integrating diamond-based quantum processes into existing chip manufacturing.
- The company's roadmap prioritizes fault tolerance and simplified quantum computing solutions, targeting inexpensive and practical applications rather than focusing on millions of qubits.
- Quantum Brilliance foresees quantum computing becoming as ubiquitous and mundane as any other chip in a server, aiming for an everyday integration of quantum technologies.
