Nature publishes significant progress in quantum computing: the first quantum integrated circuit implementation in history

6 month 23 Japan , Quantum computing Australia SQC（Silicon Quantum Computing） Announced the launch of the world's first quantum integrated circuit . This is a circuit that contains all the basic components of a classic computer chip , But the volume is on the quantum scale .

SQC The team used this quantum processor to accurately simulate the quantum state of an organic polyacetylene molecule —— Finally, the effectiveness of the new quantum system modeling technology is proved .

「 This is a major breakthrough ,」SQC founder Michelle Simmons Say . Because there may be a lot of interaction between atoms , Today's classical computers can hardly even simulate relatively small molecules .SQC The development of atomic level circuit technology will enable the company and its customers to build a series of new material quantum models , Whether it's drugs 、 Battery material or catalyst . It won't take long , We can start to implement new materials that have never existed before .」

The research results are published in a new issue of 《 natural 》 The magazine .
