Archer CEO Dr Mohammad Choucair said the grant of the patent in Hong Kong is great news.

“With the grant of the Hong Kong patent, all the patent applications in the current 12CQ chip portfolio have now been granted,” Dr Choucair said.

“Archer is one of few companies with granted patents protecting quantum computing chip technology and one with a unique global competitive advantage.”

To date, Archer remains the only ASX listed company to develop qubit processor technology.
