A new study by researchers in Canada, the “missing link” of the quantum internet revealed. Recent research has shown that silicon material used in existing internet networks and carrying classical computational components, transfer quantum bits (qubits) showed that he can.
Critical milestone for quantum internet passed
Scientists, quantum internet or transporting data via quantum It faces several problems in order to succeed. But the latest study by Simon Fraser University researchers, published in the journal Nature, has shown that an important milestone for the quantum internet has been left behind.
Silicon qubits actually one of the fundamental problems for the quantum internet. Researchers trying to perform data transfer as quantum, connecting qubits together must. The last study is the qubit of T centers in silicon material. proved to be able to carry it. Photonic or light-based coupling between qubits was achieved.
Quantum internet is coming: Scientists have achieved a first
Could quantum internet be possible in the near future? Scientists beamed “quantum data” to unconnected systems.
T centers also available fiber communication and telecom equipment indicated that it can be used for Quantum physicist Stephanie Simmons from Simon Fraser University, who conducted the research, said that T centers can carry out processing and communication together.
When your silicon qubit can communicate by emitting photons in the same band used in data centers and fiber networks, you get the same benefits for connecting the millions of qubits required for quantum computing.
In addition, important work has been done for the quantum internet before. Scientists have taken an important step in sending information to non-connected computers over a quantum network. Two systems that are not connected to each other on the network that you can “beam” quantum information showed.
