A ‘Teleportation’ Breakthrough for Quantum Computing Is Here


A team at Oxford University succeeded in getting two quantum processors to connect to each other and work together with particle entanglement.

Scientists are working on a solution that sounds like something out of a science fiction series: connecting remote cores to each other through “quantum teleportation” to create even more powerful machines. The team, led by graduate student Dougal Main, managed to get distant systems to interact with each other and share logic gates using quantum entanglement. Willow, Google's quantum chip, recently solved a benchmark task called random circuit sampling in five minutes; it would have taken up to 10 quadrillion years for a conventional supercomputer to get the same result.
