Revolutionary Quantum Microchip: 100 Times Thinner Than Hair!

1/3/2026

Summary

Story summary

Researchers developed a quantum microchip that is nearly 100 times thinner than a human hair.
The chip uses microwave oscillations to control laser light with high precision and low power.
Built with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication, it supports mass production for future machines needing thousands of qubits.
The team will collaborate with quantum computing companies to test the chip in real systems, with findings published in Nature Communications.
