Optical chip protects quantum technology from errors | In today’s digital infrastructure, the data-bits we use to send and process information can either be 0 or 1. Being able to correct possible errors that may occur in computations using these bits is a vital part of information processing and communication systems. But a quantum computer uses quantum bits, which can be a kind of mixture of 0 and 1, known as quantum super-position. This mixture is vital to their power—but it makes error correction far more complicated. Source: PHYS.ORG. Optical chip protects quantum technology from errors…
Russian Scientists Manoeuvre Supercomputer To Probe Google’s Quantum Processor Limits | Chemistry and Physics of Quantum Materials (CPQM) Laboratory for Quantum Information Processing has collaborated with Computational and Data Science and Engineering (CDISE) supercomputing team known as ‘Zhores’ to mimic the quantum processor by Google. The collaborative team were able to point out a subtle effect lurking in Google’s data with the reproduction of noiseless data using the same statistics used in Google’s recent experiments, in the results published in the field’s leading journal Quantum.
