The prototype quantum computer developed had performance close to ideal to be brought to market, according to Google
OR Google published on Wednesday (22) a study that promises to be one step ahead of the competition in building a quantum computer for commercial use.
The results, published in the scientific journal Nature, demonstrate the development of a “logical qubit”, the basic operating unit of the machine. This, in turn, will be able to solve much more complex problems than devices available on the market, such as encryptions.
According to the technology giant, the prototype developed had performance close to ideal for quantum computing to be disseminated in industry and science.
The great advantage of Google’s quantum computer is the small number of unexpected events. This type of machine, generating large amounts of information at the same time, ends up becoming more prone to producing errors.
But, according to the engineering team of great technologyan innovative arrangement involving several physical qubits has resulted in an efficient error correction algorithm called “surface code” or “repeat codes”.
Even with the new development, Google’s quantum processor continues to produce errors at a frequency the company considers inappropriate, one every 1,000 to 10,000 operations.
For the new model to reach the market, Google expects one error for every million or billion operations. According to the company, new algorithms such as the latest developed would raise the index to one error every 10 million operations, an index that would be enough to make it suitable for sale.
