Amazon Unveils Quantum Computing Chip Named Ocelot

Deccan Chronicle  

Amazon Web Services on Thursday showed a quantum computing chip with new technology that it hopes will shave as much as five years off its effort to build a commercially useful quantum computer. Scientists established in the 1990s that some of a quantum computer's qubits could be dedicated to correcting those errors, and the years since then have been spent searching for ways to construct physical qubits so that enough "logical" qubits are left over to do useful computing work. But AWS said it had built a prototype chip that uses only nine physical qubits to yield one working logical qubit, thanks to the use of what is known as a "cat" qubit, so named for physicist Erwin Schrodinger's famous thought experiment to illustrate principles of quantum mechanics in which an unlucky cat in a box is both dead and alive at the same time. Oskar Painter, AWS director of quantum hardware, said the AWS approach could one day yield useful computers with only 100,000 qubits rather than a million.
