Researchers pack a "quantum light factory" into a 1mm² CMOS chip — combines photonics, electronics, and quantum hardware with traditional silicon manufacturing that can achieve mass scale

Researchers have created a 1 mm² chip that merges quantum photonics, electronics, and self-tuning systems—all on a standard 45 nm CMOS process. This breakthrough brings mass-producible quantum hardware closer than ever, much like the Intel 4004 did for microprocessors.
