A silicon quantum circuit being connected to a circuit board
Serwan Asaad
Quantum computers tend to be labyrinthine machines the size of a fridge with large tangles of control and cooling systems. This complexity is a huge hurdle to scaling up processor power to tackle harder problems. But researchers have finally proved that a decades-old theory to simplify silicon quantum processors can work, potentially paving the way for vastly more powerful devices.
Most current quantum computers require a control wire for every qubit on a processor, which is used to change the …
