Silicon Quantum Computing Unveils Quantum Twins™ for Enhanced Quantum Simulations

Silicon Quantum Computing Unveils Quantum Twins™

On February 4, 2026, Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC), a pioneering company in the realm of quantum computing and quantum machine learning, made waves with the announcement of their latest innovation: Quantum Twins™. This groundbreaking application-specific quantum simulator is designed to significantly expedite the discovery of new molecules and materials.

Advancing Quantum Simulations

Quantum Twins are built on SQC's proprietary atomic-scale semiconductor manufacturing process, showcasing the stellar precision and scalability that SQC's full-stack approach to quantum computing can offer. Comprising vast arrays of qubit registers, or quantum dots, precisely patterned on pure silicon at an astonishing accuracy of 0.13 nanometers at the atomic level, these chips are engineered to replicate physical systems and chemical interactions that researchers are keen to analyze and comprehend.

This remarkable capability provides a robust avenue for simulating quantum systems in a manner that classical computers cannot achieve. The launch of Quantum Twins heralds a new era for understanding quantum interactions, opening doors to advances in areas like magnetism, atomic interactions, and superconductivity. These discoveries will lay the groundwork for innovations in information storage, low-power electronics, and a wider array of material discoveries.

A Milestone for Manufacturing Precision

The announcement comes on the heels of a rapid expansion in SQC's manufacturing capabilities, particularly notable during the past few months. Just last November, SQC demonstrated its ability to pattern an impressive 250,000 qubit registers within a mere eight hours, diminishing the risks associated with achieving the yield and volume required for delivering commercially viable, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

As a full-stack entity, SQC can design, produce, and validate new quantum chips in under a week, a crucial advantage as the race to develop the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer intensifies.

Insights from Leadership

Michelle Simmons, Founder and CEO of SQC, emphasized the significance of Quantum Twins, stating, "This represents a window into the quantum world that customers can leverage for materials discovery today. Our ability to engineer hundreds of thousands of qubit registers with atomic precision is a remarkable achievement in semiconductor manufacturing that operates at sub-nanometer accuracy."

Simon Segars, Chair of SQC and former CEO of ARM, added, "The launch of Quantum Twins enriches SQC's product range and extends our atomic-scale advantage into global materials and chemistry sectors. Having achieved success with our quantum machine learning system, Watermelon, this latest product serves as a definitive marker of our mastery in manufacturing precision and scalability in the quantum realm."

Furthermore, SQC recently debuted its multi-qubit, multi-register processor, which boasts industry-leading fidelities up to 99.99%, with a performance trajectory that improves alongside system scaling. The company has also advanced to Stage B of DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, where its quantum machine learning system, Watermelon, is making significant impacts across various sectors, including telecommunications and defense.
