Not hard to tell the excitement here from yesterday.. lol .. been awhile since the last announcement but when they come they are good!
Anyone keeping a close eye on Staff Hiring can see we are entering the Hardware build phase of Quantum devices - it's not the full 12cq chip yet, but I imagine building the Control devices etc leading towards a prototype. Still someway to go but forward planning such as this announcement indicates shows much confidence in this technology making it through to commercialization.
The staff now consists of Quantum Hardware Engineers and Nano Fabrication Engineers so defiantly this company has entered into a new phase.
Great to see they don't require any special manufacturing and it can be done on existing manufacturing processes.
The below quote from the announcement is significant and through the many previous announcements shows they are realizing a pathway to commercialization allowing Quantum Computing to become mainstream.
"
Further information on Archer’s global competitive advantage and tech differentiationThe scientific breakthrough made in 2016 to realize Archer’s 12CQ qubit material is available
online in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nature Communications, which reports the
advantages, technological trade-offs, and the
technological barriers that have been overcometowards realizing practical quantum computing, over several other qubit proposals."
12cq is our flagship Technology and the Bio Chip technology is right there with it progressing also.
I noticed the lodging of 12cq patent protection in Spain in May 2022 - All Major economies are covered now so interesting to see yet another area under patent application.
I know it's difficult for investors when there in no clear roadmap and timeline - they have one, but it's confidential. As frustrating as it is for many here a real possibility for the reason it's confidential is so as to not tip off competitors in the space as to how far they are really along the commercialization pathway. My take on yesterdays announcement and considering the employment of Hardware and Nano Fabrication Engineers ... and to be taking the steps to start considering scalable manufacturing of chip devices .. I could be wrong of course .. but maybe they are further along than one would think!
Time will tell as it always does, but I'm very happy with the progress they are making considering it's a Worlds First technology and the complexity of what they are doing. If this device will fit in your phone then it will defiantly fit in everything else larger than your phone - laptops, cars etc - exciting potential here and great to see Archer at the forefront and not playing catchup!
