Boffins from the University of Sussex and Universal Quantum have demonstrated for the first time that quantum bits (qubits) can directly transfer between quantum computer microchips and confirmed this with record-breaking speed and accuracy.
This fixes a major issue in making quantum computers large and powerful enough to tackle complex critical problems.
The best quantum computers currently operate on the 100-qubit scale, but millions are required to solve significant problems that are out of reach of today's most powerful supercomputers.
In the research paper in Nature Communications, the boffins demonstrated a new and powerful technique, which they dub 'UQConnect', to use electric field links to enable qubits to move from one quantum computing microchip module to another with unprecedented speed and precision. This allows chips to slot together like a jigsaw puzzle to make a more powerful quantum computer.
