Amazon introduced its first quantum computing chip, following similar releases from Microsoft and Google.
Nicknamed “Ocelot,” this quantum chip “represents an important step in developing efficient means to scaling up to practical, fault-tolerant quantum computers,” Amazon wrote in a company blog post Thursday (Feb. 27).
“In the future, quantum chips built according to the Ocelot architecture could cost as little as one-fifth of current approaches, due to the drastically reduced number of resources required for error correction,” Oskar Painter, director of quantum hardware for Amazon Web Services (AWS), said in the post. “Concretely, we believe this will accelerate our timeline to a practical quantum computer by up to five years.”
One of the biggest challenges presented by quantum computers is...
