Built into compressively strained germanium on silicon (cs-GoS) material, QPLs could allow qubits to exchange quantum information across chips up to 300 mm in diameter. Unlike microwave or surface acoustic wave approaches that require extra hardware, QPLs are embedded directly in the semiconductor material, making them potentially more compact, scalable, and compatible with existing manufacturing processes — a step toward building quantum processors with up to one million qubits. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
