AmpliTech supplies cryogenic amplifiers for quantum computing systems

AmpliTech Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPG) announced its cryogenic Low Noise Amplifiers are being used in quantum computing systems. The company manufactures signal processing components for satellite, 5G, and other communications networks.

The company's cryogenic LNAs operate at temperatures as low as 4 Kelvin and deliver noise figures under 0.1 dB, according to the press release. Each qubit in quantum computing systems typically requires its own LNA for signal amplification.

"Our LNAs are not just amplifiers—they are enablers of a quantum leap," said Fawad Maqbool, CEO and CTO of AmpliTech. "With each qubit typically requiring its own LNA, the demand for our technology is directly linked to the growth of the quantum computing sector, and we're scaling aggressively to meet it."

Current quantum systems include IBM's 433-qubit "Osprey" and Google's Sycamore architecture. Several companies are targeting 1,000+ qubit platforms within the next 12-24 months, according to the announcement.

AmpliTech's technology uses pHEMT (pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor) design. The company states it serves as a supplier to quantum computing initiatives, universities, and national labs.

The quantum computing hardware market is projected to grow at a 33% compound annual growth rate through 2030, according to industry analysts cited in the press release.

AmpliTech Group comprises five divisions including AmpliTech Inc., Specialty Microwave, Spectrum Semiconductors Materials, AmpliTech Group Microwave Design Center, and AmpliTech Group True G Speed Services.
