According to ScienceAlert, a technology website in Australia, December 15, UNSW attempted to manufacture quantum computer chips using common standard semiconductor components.
That is, scientists can turn well-known collections of desktop and smartphone technologies into processors in quantum computers.
Scientists believe that this design idea is of great significance, comparable to the first moon landing.
'We often think landing on the moon is the greatest miracle of human technology,' says lead researcher Andrew Dzurak. 'However, this microprocessor chip technology will have amazing results as well Think about the billions of components that work together, work together like a symphony orchestra, and have the size that you can put in your pocket.
The principle of quantum computing is different from the one currently used, not simple 1's and 0's, but more complex multilevel computations. The unit of quantum computation is called a qubit (quantum bit). However, a quantum bit The disadvantage is prone to error, which is a problem of quantum computing.

DiZhake said researchers using error correction coding, can handle multiple quantum bits and make fewer mistakes.He said: 'The new design idea is to integrate new error-correcting coding, so that the millions of quantum bits is very Coordinate to follow the extremely complex process of movement, in order to achieve the operation.
According to the report, this is the first time that the scientific community has tried to use conventional silicon wafers to control and read millions of qubits.

Researcher Menno Veldhorst explains that engineers can use electronic probes on the qubit to control the spin of the qubit and store the quantum information.
However, there is still some distance between the current progress and the practicality, and more accurate control is still required to achieve truly effective large-scale quantum computation. #
