World’s first quantum chip uses advanced lithography to make qubits easier to scale

SMRTR summary

Belgium-based lab Imec built the world's first quantum chip using High-NA EUV lithography — the same cutting-edge technology used for advanced AI processors. By applying it to silicon qubits, Imec showed quantum computers could scale using existing chip-making infrastructure, potentially accelerating quantum computing's arrival before the estimated 2030 timeline.
