Cheap quantum computers are no longer a distant future

In the near future, quantum computers can become a popular item at an affordable price.

This observation was made by quantum physicists after a groundbreaking study of the ability to operate two states on silicon materials.

For the first time an electron can exist at the same time in both places inside today's most popular electronic material - silicon.

The study is the result of a collaboration of a group of British-Dutch scientists from Surrey University, UCL (University College) London, Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, and FOM Plasma Physics Institute near Utrecht and posted in 'Nature.'

The research results marked a significant step forward in the production of a 'quantum computer' at an affordable price.

According to the study, scientists have created a simple version of Schrödinger cat - a paradox of both dead and coexistence simultaneously - in simple and cheap materials to produce. Common computer chips.

Professor Ben Murdin, head of the Electronics Research Group at the University of Surrey, explains: "This is a real breakthrough for modern electronics and has great potential in the future. Laser beams are increasingly There are tremendous technological applications, especially the transmission of information between computers and this new discovery shows their potential power in processing information within computers. "

In this study, the scientists used the Dutch laser pulse from the Netherlands with short and intense wavelengths to make an orbiting electron spin inside the silicon net exist two states at once - okay called quantum stacking state.

Scientists later demonstrated that the stacking state could be controlled to produce a light explosion at a specified time after the stacking state was created. Exploding phases of light are called 'echo photons' and that means for the first time, scientists have completely controlled the quantum state of atoms.

The development of "quantum computers" based on silicon materials may no longer be a dream. Professor Murdin said: "Quantum computers can solve a number of problems much more efficiently than conventional computers and they are particularly useful for security because they can quickly solve existing codes. and create unresolved codes.

Future generations of electronic devices in the future will need overlapping methods as a basis for quantum level calculations or processing.

According to Professor Murdin, in this groundbreaking study, scientists used a number of quantum techniques, proven by atomic physicists through experiments in an engine. Sophisticated power called cold atom trap, can be done easily in silicon chips - the type of material used in making transistors that are very popular.

Professor Gabriel Aeppli, Director of London Nano Technology Center (UK) added that the findings above are important both academically and commercially.

"Behind iron and ice, silicon is the most important solid crystalline inorganic material due to its enormous potential for controlling electrical conductivity through electrochemical means."

Principle of operation of phosphorus-embedded silocon grids

Electrons run in a stable orbit around the phosphorus atom embedded in the silicon crystal net, denoted by silver.

The electrons are not disturbed by the distribution density, calculated by quantum mechanical equations of motion, indicated by yellow.

A laser pulse can change the state of the electron to switch to the distribution density indicated by green.

The first pulse, the laser emitted from the left, places the electrons into both stacking states, controlled with a second laser pulse, also from the left, thereby causing the laser pulse to rise to the right.

The characteristics of the "echo" pulse show that the team was successful in creating stacking states of electrons.
