Quantum Computing Meets the Chip Shortage

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how the global semiconductor shortage is quietly shaping the timeline for practical quantum computers. They break down why quantum chips are still made on mature nodes, the role of cryogenic control electronics, and how a surprising shortage of legacy chips is forcing quantum hardware teams to rethink their supply chains. With specific references to companies like IBM, Google, and Rigetti, plus a look at the emerging quantum chip fabs in the US and Europe, they explain what's advancing, what's still stuck, and what it means for the next decade of quantum computing. If you've ever wondered why quantum computers aren't in every data center yet, this episode gives you the supply-chain answer. #QuantumComputing #ChipShortage #Semiconductor #QuantumHardware #SupplyChain #IBMQuantum #GoogleQuantum #Rigetti #CryogenicElectronics #QuantumChipFabs #Technology #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #QuantumFuture #LegacyChips #QuantumControl #QuantumSupplyChain Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
