Silicon spin qubits are a promising quantum computing technology that leverage the spin states of particles like electrons and holes trapped in energy wells, formed by gate structures similar to field-effect transistors. Semiconductor qubits, particularly silicon spin qubits, are emerging as the next-generation quantum computing platform due to their long coherence times, low spin-orbit coupling, and high gate fidelity.

Recent advancements, such as the micro-magnet technique, have demonstrated Rabi oscillations exceeding 20 MHz, enabling single qubit gates with over 99.9% fidelity and fast two-qubit gate implementations. Silicon spin qubits are also highly compatible with the CMOS process, the foundation of the modern semiconductor industry, and hold the potential to create large-scale integrated quantum processors using the well-established silicon manufacturing process, honed over the past 70 years.

This positions South Korea, as a semiconductor leader, to capitalize on its existing infrastructure and expertise, giving it a competitive edge in the global quantum race. SDT, leveraging strategic partnerships, is poised to rapidly enter the global forefront of quantum technology. Building on this strong foundation, SDT is on track to reach the significant milestone of achieving 50 silicon spin qubits by the first half of 2027.
