SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), a U.S.-based semiconductor foundry, and Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) have announced a joint program to accelerate the commercialization of hybrid quantum-classical computing. The collaboration aims to advance the emerging “future compute” stack by integrating precision quantum processors with trusted U.S. manufacturing and advanced packaging capabilities.
The collaboration is built on integrating SQC’s atomically engineered quantum processors (QPUs) with SkyWater’s manufacturing expertise. SkyWater will contribute superconducting resonators and tailored silicon wafers from its secure production line. This joint effort establishes a production environment capable of high-volume fabrication, rigorous quality control, and advanced packaging for complex hybrid systems. SQC is also leveraging breakthroughs in microprocessor packaging driven by the AI boom, incorporating these innovations into quantum systems at increasing scale.
This quantum-classical architecture is intended to unlock higher performance and efficiency by dynamically assigning workloads to the processor best suited for the task. This potential is underscored by a recent example where Telstra used SQC hardware to cut machine learning training time from weeks to days. The partnership reinforces SkyWater’s position as a trusted enabler of next-generation technologies and its commitment to advancing secure, domestic manufacturing.
