In a few years, we might look back on this as an important turning point in the quest to make quantum computers useful.
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.
If scaled up successfully, the team's new system could help answer questions about certain kinds of superconductors and other unusual states of matter.
UCD researchers believe this new quantum device can be scaled up to solve physics problems that are too complex for digital computers.
A new type of analog quantum computer has been invented that can tackle physics problems that digital supercomputers can't solve.
