Silicon Quantum Computing Unveils Quantum Twins for Revolutionary Molecule and Materials Discovery
February 4, 2026
SQC operates as a full-stack company, capable of designing, producing, and testing new quantum chips in under a week, powered by its 14|15 platform for rapid development.
Quantum Twins aims to deepen understanding of quantum interactions in areas like magnetism, atomic interactions, and superconductivity to advance information storage, low-power electronics, and broader materials discovery.
The platform enables simulations of quantum phenomena at scales and accuracies beyond classical computers, supporting advances across magnetism, atomic interactions, superconductivity, information storage, low-power electronics, and broad materials discovery.
Silicon Quantum Computing launches Quantum Twins, a molecule and materials discovery simulator that encodes direct replicas of target systems on silicon-based qubit registers to simulate quantum physics and chemistry.
The scientific foundation and architecture were published in Nature, detailing a system with 15,000 qubit registers that underpin Quantum Twins.
Quantum Twins are available through direct contracting with SQC, positioned as a continuation of atomic-scale manufacturing leadership and as a key driver for commercial-scale quantum computing.
The launch follows manufacturing progress, including the ability to pattern 250,000 qubit registers in eight hours and to design, produce, and test new chips in under a week.
Quantum Twins is an application-specific simulator designed to accelerate molecular and materials discovery by providing a practical window into the quantum world for today’s research and development.
SQC previously demonstrated rapid manufacturing scalability by patterning 250,000 qubit registers in eight hours (November 2025), de-risking yields for fault-tolerant quantum computers.
CEO Michelle Simmons notes Quantum Twins provides customers with a practical window into the quantum world for materials discovery today, enabled by hundreds of thousands of qubit registers with atomic precision and sub-nanometer manufacturing accuracy.
Quantum Twins consist of large arrays of qubits (quantum dots) patterned on pure silicon with atom-level precision of 0.13 nanometers, enabling custom chips that physically emulate studied quantum systems and chemical interactions.
