Research abstract

Quantum computer technology is critical and strategic to the Air Force. Quantum computer technology based on topological qubits is inherently stable and resistant to errors because it exploits local topological symmetries and global boundary conditions of chalcogenide materials to yield unique, emergent quantum cooperative signatures. Wake Forest University and Streamline Automation have been working collaboratively for the last five years to develop practical applications for these topological chalcogenide materials. Our technology relies on topological complexity that yields charge-parity (CP) protected states. These states are “interacted” to yield stable entanglement. In this Phase I we propose to wire-bond several topological qubit nanoplatelets to produce the worlds-first topological qubit register. A register is the basic addressable element of a computer. This technological advantage and market interest in quantum computing has enabled us to begin working with a startup accelerator about fundraising. The demonstration of a viable qubit register that operates at room temperature and can be produced using current chip foundry technologies is a major advancement toward practical quantum computing hardware.
