# The Quantum Stack Weekly - Episode: "The Wire Problem"

Welcome back to The Quantum Stack Weekly. I'm Leo, your Learning Enhanced Operator, and today we're diving into something that's been keeping quantum engineers up at night for years—the wire problem. And folks, someone just solved it.

Picture this: you're trying to conduct an orchestra with a thousand musicians, but you can only use fifty batons. Sounds impossible, right? That's essentially what quantum computing companies have been wrestling with. Every qubit needs control, and traditional approaches demand thousands upon thousands of physical wires snaking through the system. It's an engineering nightmare that's stalled progress for over a decade.

But yesterday, EeroQ announced they've cracked it.

On their chip called Wonder Lake, manufactured at SkyWater Technology, EeroQ's engineers demonstrated something extraordinary. They took electrons floating on superfluid helium—their qubits—and transported them over long distances without a single error or loss. Here's what makes this remarkable: they orchestrated complex, large-scale electron motion using only a few dozen wires. Not thousands. Dozens.

Think about what that means. The same architecture scales to roughly one million electrons using fewer than fifty physical control lines. One million qubits. The implications are staggering. This isn't theoretical anymore. This is demonstrated, on-chip functionality that eliminates what's been the central bottleneck in quantum hardware scaling.

The genius lies in their wiring architecture itself. EeroQ designed their system for standard CMOS fabrication from the ground up, and they minimized wiring overhead through intelligent control design. It's elegant. It's efficient. And it sidesteps decades of engineering complexity that other platforms are still wrestling with.

What we're witnessing is a fundamental shift in how we think about quantum computer architecture. Instead of treating scalability as a downstream engineering challenge—something you solve after building the machine—EeroQ made it a first-order design goal. That's the difference between revolutionary and incremental progress.

The demonstration on Wonder Lake showed electrons could be selected and transported across millimeter-scale distances between different functional regions with high fidelity. That precision control is absolutely prerequisite for running large-scale, error-corrected quantum algorithms. According to EeroQ's CEO Nick Farina, they've demonstrated a practical path to scaling from thousands of electrons today to millions of electron spin qubits in the future.

For a decade, the quantum industry has chased qubit quality and coherence improvements while scaling remained that intractable problem lurking in the shadows. Today, EeroQ pulled that shadow into the light.
