The path to transmission of information begins to appear. Recently, a team of scientists from the University of Oxford was able to send the first quantum algorithm wirelessly between two separate quantum processors. Two diminutive cores used their unique nature, combined their capabilities and created a better computer to solve problems that none of them could solve independently.
The team, led by the graduate of Dougal Main, managed to get distant systems for interaction and sharing logical gates by means of quantum entanglement. Thanks to this mechanical phenomenon, a couple of connected particles, even at a distance, can share the same condition, and therefore sends the same information. If one changes the state, the other immediately reflects him.
Oxford scientists used quantum entanglement to almost immediately send basic information between computers. When the data moves over this principle, it is said that “quantum teleportation” has occurred. This should not be confused with the conventional idea of teleportation, which includes a hypothetical immediate exchange of matter in space. In the experiment, the delicate molecules remained in the same place, but the confusion allowed the computers to “see” their information and action in parallel.
According to the research document of the team published in NatureThe algorithm quantum teleportation was possible with photons and modules separated by two meters. The 86 percent indicator had loyalty. The result of this distributed quantum computing architecture is good enough to be a real path to a enormous scale technology and as the internet.
Earlier, there were demonstrations of quantum teleportation in computing contexts, but were constrained to the transfer of countries between systems. The Oxford University attempt is characteristic because it used teleportation to create interactions between distant testicles. “This breakthrough allows us to effectively” connect “various quantum processors to one fully connected quantum computer,” he told the main.
If a distributed quantum calculation technology is still developing, the era of giant quantum machines can be behind us. The problem of scalability can be potentially solved, and more machines work together through quantum teleportation. For now, the basic processor can support 50 cubits, a quantum information unit. Some scientists estimate that a machine with a capacity of thousands or millions of cubits will be needed to solve the intricate problems.
Even without involvement, quantum machines are already sturdy enough to solve seemingly impossible problems. Willow, recently google quantum chip loose A comparative task called a random circuit sampling in five minutes; Achieving the same result would take up to 10 quadrillions.
