Amazon Web Services has launched the Ocelot chip, aimed at enhancing quantum computing by integrating built-in error correction. This new chip can potentially lower the costs of quantum error correction by up to 90%, addressing one of the major challenges in creating reliable quantum computers. Unlike traditional methods of adding qubits for error correction, Ocelot employs 'cat qubits' designed to inherently suppress specific errors, thereby utilizing less energy and resources. This innovative approach sets Amazon apart from competitors like Google and Microsoft in their strategies to mitigate quantum computing errors.
"We didn't take an existing architecture and then try to incorporate error correction afterwards," Oskar Painter, AWS' director of quantum hardware, noted.
