C12 unveils Pick & Place: a nanoassembly process to scale carbon nanotube quantum chip manufacturing
Summary
C12 unveils Pick & Place, a patented nanoassembly process to transfer individual carbon nanotubes onto quantum chips with micrometric precision. The method decouples CNT growth from chip fabrication, enabling higher throughput and tighter quality control, including electrical prescreening at the qubit level. The release frames this as a step toward scalable carbon nanotube quantum processors, with claims of increased throughput and a 17-qubit high-density chip as a proof point.
