Australia: Controlling Qubits on Silicon

Australia, in collaboration with U.S.A.’s Purdue University, surged forward with controlling qubits individually on silicon chips. The ability to control qubits singly is seen paramount to moving ahead in making quantum computing a reality. Additional positive findings were error-reductions in the system due to the ability to control qubits individually when in proximity to each other. This brings quantum computing one step closer to complex computations involving entangled states.

Quantum Dots and Donor Atoms

The U.S. Department of Energy’s research teams recently integrated quantum dots and donor atoms to produce qubits with little degradation. There are two primary benefits from this new qubit. First, maintaining of the quantum data stored in the spin (coherence). Second, use of silicon materials which have manufacturing infrastructure readily available. Keeping coherence high is a necessity to developing practical quantum computers.

Intel’s Direction

It is no secret Intel is all-in for producing quantum computers. They have the infrastructure to mass produce computer chips. Now, if they could get a quantum chip to fit into this production line what else could there be?
