MIT student and Brazil native Thomas Bergamaschi spent four years learning how to solve problems as an undergraduate researcher in the Engineering Quantum Systems (EQUS) laboratory.

Researchers developed a special type of amplifier that uses a technique known as squeezing to amplify quantum signals by a factor of 100 while reducing the noise that is inherent in quantum systems by an order of magnitude. Their device is the first to demonstrate squeezing over a broad frequency bandwidth of 1.75 gigahertz, nearly two orders of magnitude higher than other architectures.

MIT researchers have taken the first step toward extensible quantum interconnects, which could help connect large-scale devices.

Quantum computers hold the promise of performing certain tasks that are intractable even on the world’s most powerful supercomputers. In the future, scientists anticipate using quantum computing to emulate materials systems, simulate quantum chemistry, and optimize hard tasks, with impacts potentially spanning finance to pharmaceuticals.
