Quantum teleportation used to distribute a calculation: Method allows a single algorithm to be spread across multiple quantum processors


Method allows a single algorithm to be spread across multiple quantum processors.

Performing complex algorithms on quantum computers will eventually require access to tens of thousands of hardware qubits. Once linked, the two pieces of hardware could be treated as a single quantum computer, allowing simple algorithms to be performed that involved operations on both sides of the 2-meter gap. Our idea of teleportation has been heavily shaped by Star Trek, where people disappear from one location while simultaneously appearing elsewhere.
