SPINUS: Pioneering Room-Temperature Quantum Computers with Diamonds

AMIRES is actively contributing to the SPINUS project, a European initiative focused on developing scalable quantum computers that can operate at room temperature—without the need for extreme cooling. Funded by a €10 million consortium under the Quantum Flagship, SPINUS is exploring the use of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in synthetic diamonds to create programmable qubits, promising a leap forward in quantum computing applications.

Led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF and supported by top European research institutions, including the Universities of Ulm and Stuttgart, the project aims to build quantum simulators with more than 50 qubits and quantum computers with over 10 qubits by 2027. These advancements could revolutionize sectors like drug discovery, materials science, and optimization algorithms.

Unlike conventional quantum computers, which require ultra-low temperatures, SPINUS leverages diamond’s unique properties to achieve high efficiency and miniaturization. This breakthrough will open new possibilities for quantum technologies, including AI, cryptography, and energy-saving innovations.

With the potential to scale up to 1000 qubits in just five years, SPINUS is paving the way for more practical, cost-effective, and scalable quantum computers that could transform industries worldwide.
