A Discovery Has Been Made That Will Make the Quantum Internet Possible

Quantum computers It will have great computational power. They will do this with quantum particles called qubits. To explain how important qubits are with a simple example, in an ordinary computer millions of years The process of prime factorization of a 2048-bit number can be completed in just minutes on quantum computers.

The development of silicon qubits is an area where physicists are producing increasingly efficient and more advanced end products. Yet when it comes to getting these qubits to work together, we have little alternative none. At least not until this last study.

Connecting qubits with light in the quantum

In silicon, according to new research T center Imperfect structures, called qubits, can be used as a photonic (light-based) connection system to connect qubits. Quantum physicist from Simor Fraser University in Canada Stephanie SimmonsHaving an emitter such as the T center at the center will pave the way for scalable, deployable quantum computers when used in conjunction with high-performance qubits and optical photon generation.

On the basis of this feature, the light-based connections it can perform both transaction processing and communication functions at the same time. Thus, there is no need for a separate connection interface for communication and for operation.

So what does this mean?

To summarize briefly, the new system uses the existing structure. Moreover more efficient and very possibly easier to manufacture as well. The researchers also state that this is the first time they have witnessed such quantum particle activity occur optically in silicon.

Another advantage is T centers transmitting light at the same wavelength as current fiber connection means. Thus, quantum devices will be much easier to use and spread because no new infrastructure will be required, at least for a while.
