Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced Ocelot, its first-generation quantum computing chip developed in collaboration with Caltech. This innovative chip can cut the costs associated with quantum error correction by up to 90%. Unlike traditional computers, which operate using bits, Ocelot utilizes qubits, enabling it to tackle complex problems at an exponential speed. The announcement comes amid increasing investments in quantum technology by the US and China, and highlights AWS's commitment to overcoming challenges such as qubit sensitivity, ultimately making practical quantum computing feasible.
Ocelot's design is pivotal in cutting quantum error correction costs by up to 90%, bringing practical quantum computing closer to realization, according to AWS.
The sensitivity of qubits presents significant challenges in quantum computing, leading AWS to prioritize error correction in the Ocelot chip's development.
AWS reveals that despite competition from Google and Microsoft, their Ocelot chip focuses on reducing costs and resources related to quantum error correction.
With increasing investment from the US and China in quantum research, practical quantum computers that can execute error correction will be essential for future advancements.
