The Era of Semiconductor–Quantum Computer Integration: How Scalable Quantum Machines Will Transform the Future
Bringing Quantum Computers Closer with the Power of Semiconductors
We are now entering a pivotal phase where quantum computers and semiconductor technologies are being fundamentally integrated. Once developed in parallel as separate domains, these technologies are now converging, and by tuning semiconductor manufacturing processes and materials for quantum hardware, the realization of affordable, large-scale production of quantum computers is now within reach.
At the core of this initiative lies the concept of "semiconductorization for quantum." By gradually optimizing existing semiconductor manufacturing workflows and materials for quantum bit (qubit) architectures, we are establishing a path toward mass production with a strong balance between cost and yield.
Quantum Computers for Data Centers and Offices
Thanks to these technological advancements, quantum computers are poised to move beyond specialized research labs and become part of everyday IT infrastructure—in data centers, enterprise offices, and beyond.
Notably, with the potential for stable operation in the 0.3–1 Kelvin temperature range, design architectures that align with existing high-volume semiconductor packaging nodes become feasible. This breakthrough could dramatically accelerate the commercial deployment of quantum computing.
Elevating Practicality Through NISQ and Error Correction in Tandem
Even in the current era of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, many high-value computational areas such as optimization problems and machine learning remain tractable despite the presence of noise.
Therefore, quantum error correction (QEC) should not be treated as something to implement only after solving everything else. Instead, we believe a phased integration approach—starting as qubit counts grow and cost-efficiency improves—is more realistic. This hybrid model combining NISQ strategies with gradual QEC deployment provides a pragmatic path that balances technical risks with return on investment.
Semiconductor Industry Collaboration Enters a New Phase
Until now, we’ve primarily collaborated with front-end semiconductor companies (wafer-level process technologies). Today, we’re expanding these efforts to include back-end partners specializing in packaging and system-level integration.
This has led to the development of a clear roadmap for volume manufacturing using technologies like 2.5D integration, micro-bumps, and interposers. Especially in the cryogenic 0.3–1K range—where both cooling and interconnects impose strict constraints—we are now approaching a realistic vision of a fully integrated, chip-scale quantum system.
The Next Form of Computing, Born from Integration
Our vision is to usher in an era where quantum computers are no longer "special." Instead, they will be naturally embedded in everyday computing environments, such as cloud infrastructure, enterprise desktops, and AI or simulation workflows—serving practical roles in optimization, security, and beyond.
The key to this future lies in the fusion of semiconductor expertise and quantum technologies. Through this convergence, quantum computing will evolve from experimental research into a powerful, business-ready tool.
We plan to share more details on our roadmap, as well as specific collaboration examples with our partners, in the near future.
