In a major breakthrough for quantum computing, researchers at the University of Chicago simply inserted qubit states via a communication cable connecting one quantum network node to another, according to a recent study published in the journal Nature.
The first results of this study bring us closer to realizing quantum computing – laying the essential foundation for future quantum communication networks.
Breakdown of quantum computing
Qubits – also known as quantum pieces – are basic units of quantum information. And, using their quantum properties as a superposition – as well as their ability to interact – scientists and engineers are building the next-generation quantum computers capable of solving quantitative problems reducing the capabilities of computers. today.
The researchers – working from the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago (UChicago) – succeeded in connecting a state by using one cable to attach two knots to each of the two nodes, and then to engage further in these angles. with other qubits in the nodes, according to a blog post shared on the UChicago website.
“Developing techniques that allow us to move connected states will be critical for scaling quantum computing,” said the new scientist’s lead scientist, Professor Andrew Cleland.
