The €15m ($17.7m) QLSI (Quantum Large-Scale Integration with Silicon) project aims to produce a 16 qubit quantum processor in commercial CMOS silicon

A research consortium is aiming to position Europe as a global leader in quantum computing with a CMOS silicon quantum processor.

The €15m ($17.7m) QLSI (Quantum Large-Scale Integration with Silicon) project brings together many of the world leading quantum research and development institutions. The silicon partners include Infineon Dresden, STMicroelectronics, Soitec and Hitachi, as well as French supercomputer developer Atos.

The four-year project is coordinated by CEA-Leti to lay the foundation for the EU's industrial-scale implementation of semiconductor quantum processors using spin qubits. This is the leading platform for scaling to very large numbers of quantum bits, or qubits, says CEA.

This is an addition to the €1bn, ten year Quantum Flagship R&D program announced in 2018 and runs alongside other European quantum processor projects beig led by Infineon and other semiconductor companies.
