Intel and QuTech have agreed to extend their successful alliance for the long term. Having worked together on quantum research since 2015, with significant groundbreaking achievements as a result, both parties have decided to continue their collaboration beyond 2025.

The collaboration between the two industry leaders has been a fruitful one. In the years that QuTech – a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO – and Intel have shared expertise, manpower and facilities, they achieved groundbreaking results. For example, scientists from Intel and QuTech produced the first industrially manufactured qubit within Intel’s computer chip manufacturing facilities. This novel research was published in Nature Electronics (2022).

Following multiple scientific achievements, the two have therefore decided to extend their partnership. After working together for nearly a decade, QuTech and Intel will next focus primarily on cryogenic complementary metal-oxide semiconductor electronics (cryo-CMOS) research, an emerging technology that could provide higher performance and lower power without changing the fabrication technology.
