A promising leap towards computers with light-speed capabilities. Scientists have created a reprogrammable light-based processor, a world-first, that they say could usher in a new era of quantum computing and communication.


Scientists have created a reprogrammable light-based processor that they say could usher in a new era of quantum computing and communication.

Meanwhile, Peruzzo’s team has also developed a world-first hybrid system that combines machine learning with modelling to program photonic processors and help control the quantum devices. “One of the biggest challenges to the device's output accuracy is noise, which describes the interference in the quantum environment that impacts how qubits perform,” he said. Lead author Dr Akram Youssry, from RMIT, said the results of the newly developed approach showed significant improvement over the traditional methods of modelling and control, and could be applied to other quantum devices beyond photonic processors.
