Bringing Photonic Quantum Computing to Reality
Bringing Photonic Quantum Computing to Reality. Researchers in China “have demonstrated a way to map and measure large-scale photonic quantum correlation with single-photon sensitivity.” This capability is critical for making photon-based quantum computing practical. The new method is dubbed “correlation on spatially-mapped photon-level image or COSPLI. “COSPLI has the potential to become a versatile solution […]
