Amazon unveiled a prototype quantum processor with a novel architecture that promises to significantly reduce the resources required to unlock a future era in which ultra-powerful computers solve some of the world’s biggest problems.
The new chip, dubbed Ocelot, focuses on correcting errors from the start, using electrical oscillations to store data in a manner less susceptible to the disturbances and errors notorious for impeding full-fledged quantum computing.
Amazon says the approach could ultimately result in a functional quantum computer using as little as one-tenth the resources required for conventional quantum error-correction.
The news, announced Thursday morning, follows quantum chip unveilings by Microsoft last week and Google in December...
