Cypress to make quantum computing processor ICs for D-Wave

D-Wave, one of the pioneer in inventing quantum computing-based microprocessor chips has selected Cypress Semiconductor as its semiconductor foundry to make quantum computing-based processor chips. Cypress Semiconductor, which is not seeing quarterly revenue growth in its recently reported quarter, can now tilt its revenue curve upwards, if this foundry partnership becomes successful. To tell you more on the D-Wave Systems. D-Wave has done significant amount of research in inventing key technologies to build chips for commercial quantum computers. So far D-Wave is granted with 100 patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This achievement comparable to leading computer research companies such as IBM, HP and Fujitsu. D-Wave has done great amount of research in the area such as physics, system architecture, manufacturing and computer science, all the way from basic concepts to manufacturing of quantum processor chips. Some of the research elements in quantum processing include superconducting qubits and magnetic shielding and cooling. D-Wave had shared in its release that its new 512-qubit quantum computer, the D-Wave Two, to be installed at the new Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, a collaboration among NASA, Google and the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) in 3rd Quarter of 2013. D-Wave has selected Cypress Semiconductor as its f...
