Spin qubits are on the move. ⬆️ ⬇️ Building quantum computers based on semiconductor chip technology. Last week, QuTech published in Nature a landmark step toward scalable quantum computing, demonstrating spin qubit shuttling to build a quantum circuit. The same journal, HRL Labs published on spin-qubit control electronics, bringing the control stack close to the qubits to reduce wiring complexity and improve performance. Different teams, same momentum. A long-term vision, and a long journey. In this new documentary, you can follow the researchers along that journey, from the basics of semiconductor spin qubits to shuttling and the control challenge, including where machine learning fits in as chips get more complex.

💡 QuTech aims to spark enthusiasm and curiosity for quantum technologies among a wider audience. We are keen to share our fascination with quantum science with anyone, including young people (notably primary and secondary school students), technology enthusiasts, professionals, politicians, and future users. 💭 Our principal investigators are widely recognised as thought leaders both in the Netherlands and abroad. They are often asked to contribute their expert views on quantum technology to media productions, companies, and institutions. 💬 The QuTech Speakers are young and highly motivated PhD students, engineers, and postdoctoral researchers who can be invited for talks. In 2025 they provided interviews, podcasts, blogs, presentations, and other outreach activities for the broader audience. Through the regular QuTech Speakers Assembly meetings and workshops we aim to enable our speakers to represent QuTech and confidently share their work with the world.

What if qubits could catch a bus? ...and what could that mean for the future of semiconductors? Researchers at QuTech have demonstrated a silicon spin qubit that can move through a quantum chip, stopping at four tiny “bus stops” to interact with other qubits. Rather than simply travelling from A to B, the moving qubit becomes part of a working quantum circuit and helps collect information needed to check for errors. 💡 This points to a more flexible way of designing quantum processors. Instead of keeping every qubit fixed in place, future chips could use movement to connect different parts of the processor, reduce crowding and create separate zones for storing, processing and reading out quantum information. 🔬 The result brings quantum-chip design closer to the world of advanced semiconductors, where routing, architecture and scalable manufacturing are crucial. It also strengthens Delft’s position at the intersection of quantum technology and the semiconductor industry. #semiconductors #innovation #quantumcomputing #quantum #deeptech

📖 QuTech Academy: educating the present and future changemakers in quantum technology. 💡 QuTech Academy has the ambition to educate the next generation of quantum scientists and prepare industry and society for the second quantum revolution. We pursue our goals via on-campus courses, online learning, collaborative programs, and outreach.

It looks like spin qubits are having a moment... We are excited too! In our new documentary, QuTech researchers explain how #shuttling spin qubits could open up more flexible ways to design and scale quantum chips, and why semiconductor quantum technology may become an important next frontier for computing. #quantumcomputing #deeptech #semiconductors #tudelft #innovation
