An international research team has developed a groundbreaking technique to integrate superconductors with semiconductors by patterning platinum on germanium and heating it to form a superconducting alloy, demonstrating coherent quantum states that could enable hybrid quantum processors combining the scalability of semiconductor qubits with the long-range connectivity of superconducting circuits.
A QuTech research team demonstrated initialization, readout, and universal control of four qubits created from eight germanium quantum dots, achieving quantum information transfer with 75% Bell state fidelity and establishing a versatile platform for quantum computing advancement.
Using Quobly’s Strategy to Build Qubits With FD-SOI Technology, Readout Architecture ‘Provides a Path to Low Power and Scalable Quantum’ ICs
ISTA physicists have developed a breakthrough method to connect superconducting qubits using fiber optics instead of traditional electrical signals, significantly reducing cooling requirements and potentially enabling the scaling and networking of quantum computers by converting optical signals to microwave frequencies that qubits can process.
Physicists achieved a quantum computing breakthrough by successfully connecting separate quantum processors through photonic links, enabling quantum teleportation of logical gates between modules and demonstrating the first distributed quantum computer system, which could potentially scale up without the limitations of cramming millions of qubits into a single device.
