Archer Materials Limited (ASX:AXE) has developed a highly manufacturable carbon film with attractive quantum properties, including long room-temperature electron spin lifetimes. The film is produced with a proprietary chemical vapour deposition process, showing lifetimes approaching 400ns. This development is expected to accelerate the manufacturability of qubit material and the development of quantum devices.
Greg English, Executive Chair of Archer, emphasized the significance of the new carbon film in accelerating the manufacturability of qubit material and the development of quantum devices. He highlighted that observing quantum phenomena sooner will eventually lead to more rapid development of quantum devices.
Archer Materials (ASX:AXE) has developed a highly manufacturable carbon film with long room-temperature electron spin lifetimes, overcoming manufacturing roadblocks for carbon nano-onions. The film's properties open a path to various applications, including quantum computing, extremely sensitive magnetometers, and biotechnology. The company's collaboration with EPFL has deepened the fundamental understanding of their carbon materials, with a scientific paper on the findings to be submitted for review and publication. The development is expected to accelerate quantum technology and provide a means of volume manufacturing of quantum devices.
