➀ The EQUSPACE consortium has received €3.2 million from the European Innovation Council's Pathfinder Open program to advance silicon-based quantum technology development. The project involves four partners from three EU countries and aims to develop a new quantum platform based on silicon. ➁ Silicon, though central to classical computers, plays no key role in current quantum computing concepts. The project aims to utilize the existing silicon infrastructure for qubit processing. ➂ The team will use focused ion beams to enrich ultra-pure silicon with the isotope Silicon-28, which has no spin, to stabilize quantum states and enable complex quantum operations.

➀ Africa's vast deserts and riverbeds, once seen as harmless, are actually a source of silicon, the backbone of the digital world.

➁ Despite rich natural resources and growing technical labor, Africa is largely excluded from the global semiconductor supply chain.

➂ The continent's abundant resources of cobalt, tantalum, tungsten, and other key minerals are crucial for chip production, giving it a unique advantage.
