What is EeroQ?
Founded in 2017, EeroQ is pioneering the development of a commercial quantum computer utilizing electrons trapped on the surface of superfluid helium (eHe). This eHe qubit platform offers a compelling combination of long coherence times and high connectivity, akin to ion traps, while also promising the rapid gate speeds characteristic of superconducting circuits or silicon spin qubits. The inherent small size of electrons enables the integration of numerous qubits onto a single, CMOS-fabricated chip, potentially circumventing the need for complex modular designs. This innovative strategy positions EeroQ to address key challenges in the advancement of quantum computation.
