The Compatibility Between Miniaturization and Quantum Computers – blueqat’s Challenge in Creating Demand for Next-Generation Semiconductors

Current State and Challenges of the Semiconductor Market

While the dominance of existing products like GPUs continues in today’s semiconductor market, the outlook for next-generation semiconductor businesses remains uncertain. As many companies search for the next growth driver, we at blueqat are taking on the challenge of uncovering new demand in the semiconductor industry by developing quantum computers that leverage semiconductor technology.

The Affinity Between Miniaturization and Quantum Computers

Quantum computers that utilize semiconductors—especially the type we are developing—have a strong compatibility with miniaturization technologies. By controlling gate voltages with extremely high precision, we enable quantum computation, and cutting-edge semiconductor manufacturing technologies serve as a powerful tool in achieving this.

The adaptability to miniaturization differs significantly between classical and quantum computers:

For Classical Computers:

• Constantly face heat dissipation issues
• Miniaturization worsens leakage currents and thermal problems
• Technologies like FinFET and GAA are optimized primarily for classical computation

For Quantum Computers:

• Designed to operate at nanoscale dimensions
• The more miniaturized the components, the higher the manufacturing precision—and thus, the accuracy required for quantum computation improves
• Reducing the distance between electrons enhances their interactions
• Enables more complex control schemes

Sub-2nm Advanced Processes and Quantum Computing

Particularly noteworthy is that sub-2nm advanced semiconductor processes provide significant benefits in both the precision and control of qubits. While classical computing faces the limits of miniaturization, quantum computing is experiencing the opposite—performance improves as devices become smaller, creating a fascinating reversal of expectations.

Outlook for the Future

blueqat will continue to pursue the integration of cutting-edge global semiconductor technologies with quantum computing. By creating new demand within the semiconductor industry and accelerating the practical implementation of quantum computers, we aim to spark a new wave of technological innovation.

The affinity between semiconductor miniaturization and quantum computing may hold the key to next-generation computing.
