Scientists unveil world's first quantum computer built with regular silicon chips​

A U.K. startup has created the world's first silicon-based quantum computer manufactured using the same transistor technology found in nearly all modern digital electronics.

The machine is built using the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) chip fabrication process — the same used to create the chips for devices like smartphones, laptops and digital cameras.

CMOS technology is so widely used because it produces chips that don't draw power when idle. Its integration in a quantum computer paves the way for broad adoption and less expensive manufacturing processes.

It's based on a cryogenic spintronic device. IMEC had been fabricating the chips for them. It looks like electron-beam lithography is still being used on these demo chips. I think it's because the volume is not enough to justify making a set of masks.
