Caltech Achieves Major Quantum Milestone With 6,100-Qubit Array
Caltech researchers have made a significant breakthrough in quantum computing. They've developed an array with 6,100 qubits, the largest and most stable to date, paving the way for practical quantum computers.
The team, led by Jacqueline M. Taylor, used 12,000 laser beams to trap 6,100 calcium atoms, serving as qubits. This approach allows for efficient transport and rearrangement of qubits, simplifying error correction.
Qubits, unlike classical bits, can exist in multiple states due to superposition, enabling more efficient calculations. However, entanglement is the next hurdle to fully realize quantum computers' potential. In this breakthrough, the team achieved a precision of 99.98% in manipulating individual qubits, maintaining them in superposition for almost thirteen seconds.
This 6,100-qubit array is a major milestone. It brings us closer to harnessing quantum computers' power to make groundbreaking discoveries in various fields, from novel materials to fundamental physics.
