AWS has introduced Ocelot, a cutting-edge quantum computing chip designed at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing. This new chip features an advanced scalable architecture that can reduce error correction needs by up to 90%, thereby accelerating the practical application of quantum technologies. It integrates innovative 'cat qubit' technology with enhanced error correction capabilities. Oskar Painter, AWS Quantum Hardware director, emphasized that these advancements signify a pivotal movement towards accessible, fault-tolerant quantum computers for various real-world applications, potentially at lower costs in the future.
“With the recent advancements in quantum research, it is no longer a matter of if but when practical, fault-tolerant quantum computers will be available for real-world applications. Ocelot is an essential step on that journey.”
“Even if a quantum computer is advertised as having 100 qubits, only about 20 qubits are often effectively usable for computation. This is why error correction is a crucial technology.”
