The world's first diamond-powered portable quantum computer works at room temperature and can even be plugged into a regular wall outlet
Saxon Q built a room-temperature diamond quantum computer using sulfur-stabilized qubits, though scaling and independent verification remain unresolved.
German startup Saxon Q has unveiled the world's first portable diamond-powered quantum computer that operates at room temperature and can be plugged into a regular wall outlet. The innovative system, developed by linking sulfur co-implantation with nitrogen-vacancy defects in synthetic diamonds, has achieved a single-qubit fidelity of 99.98%, significantly surpassing previous records.
The quantum processor, housed within a standard server rack, supports configurations of up to 128 qubits, with plans to scale up to 512 qubits next year and potentially exceed 10,000 qubits by 2030. This breakthrough eliminates the need for complex cryogenic cooling, making the technology more accessible for practical deployment in various applications such as robotics and autonomous driving.
Saxon Q attributes its success to introducing sulfur alongside nitrogen during manufacturing, which enhances qubit stability and control while maintaining high fidelity in quantum operations.
