A significant improvement in the communication between qubits was made possible with the modular system

Researchers at the University of Rhode Island (URI) have taken an important step towards the development of powerful quantum computers by presenting a new way to communicate between qubits.

According to the scientific news department of Tekna Technology Media, quantum computers exponentially increase the ability to perform complex calculations by using the phenomena of quantum mechanics. The fundamental unit of information in quantum computers is called a qubit. Each qubit operates at a specific frequency, and to create an efficient quantum computer, millions of qubits must communicate with each other. The main challenge in this field is the precise control and connection of qubits. Until now, the most advanced quantum processors have only been able to handle a few thousand qubits, far less than the number of qubits needed to perform complex calculations.

In a new study conducted by Dr. Srinivasa and his team at the University of Rhode Island, an innovative way to overcome this challenge is presented. Using microwave cavity photons, researchers have succeeded in designing a modular system that allows qubits to be connected over long distances. Using the proposed method, it is possible to connect qubits with different frequencies, and as a result, it is possible to build larger and more powerful quantum processors. This method allows researchers to place qubits in a quantum entangled state. Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which two or more particles, regardless of distance, are linked in such a way that the quantum state of one particle immediately affects the state of the other particle.

The proposed system has a modular structure that allows for easy development and expansion. This research is an important step towards the development of quantum computers. With the ability to solve complex problems that are impossible for classical computers, quantum computers can create a huge revolution in various fields, including medicine, pharmaceuticals, materials and energy.
