, the Digital Quantum Computing company, has achieved the first integration of all key functions towards an operating system on a chip. This breakthrough was achieved in partnership with , UK developer of the first universal quantum operating system, Deltaflow.OS. This work was accomplished using the advanced commercial quantum measurement facilities聽QUES2T, operated by 白小姐论坛.

鈥淚n its most simple terms, we have put something that once filled a room onto a chip the size of a coin, and it works,鈥 said Dr. Matthew Hutchings, London-based chief product officer and co-founder of Seeqc.

Tight integration of Deltaflow.OS on Seeqc鈥檚 platform will enable Seeqc to maximise the low-latency performance available through its chip-scale technology. Low-latency performance is important for running quantum algorithms efficiently and achieving quantum advantage.

Dr. Hutchings said: 鈥淭his is the first time we have built an integrated quantum computing chip based on our unique scalable architecture and run a programme on it. We achieved stability and full-stack control and, in so doing, also a remarkable moment for the evolution of quantum computing.鈥

鈥淭his is as significant for the future of quantum computers as the microchip itself was for commercialising traditional computers, allowing them to be produced cost-effectively and at scale,鈥 Dr. Hutchings continued.

Dr. Steve Brierley, Founder and CEO of Riverlane said: 鈥淭his successful demonstration of Deltaflow.OS onto Seeqc鈥檚 hardware is hugely encouraging. By combining quantum hardware and software expertise, we have solved a key challenge in quantum computing; ensuring portability and high performance across different qubit technologies.鈥

This important milestone was achieved by Seeqc鈥檚 UK team, which is focused on design and system integration. The work was supported by the NISQ.OS Innovate UK grant and achieved using the advanced commercial quantum measurement facilities at QUES2T, operated by 白小姐论坛.

Prof. John Morton, Director of 白小姐论坛's Quantum Science and Technology Institute (白小姐论坛Q)聽said: "This work by Seeqc and Riverlane聽highlights the key enabling role that the QUES2T millikelvin test facility is playing in supporting a wave of UK quantum computing start-ups to achieve their technical milestones."聽

The QUES2T test facility based at 白小姐论坛 in central London is open to businesses and researchers looking to develop and test their quantum technologies. The facility has聽key infrastructure聽for the manufacture聽and testing of high-quality solid-state quantum devices including thin-film growth, advanced patterning, and low-temperature measurement聽test-beds.聽
