Amazon for the first time Ocelot, its first quantum computing slide

Amazon Web Services (AWS) foot Oceelot, its first quantum computing slide. The news brings it with its adult cloudy competitors Microsoft and GoogleWhich also revealed its quantum chips in recent months, respectively, Majoraana and Willow.

The cloud computing giant has always invested in the quantum computing space, starting in 2019 Braket Computing quantum as a service It was launched in partnership with industrial players such as Quera and Rigetti.

Quantitative computing depends on the borrowed principles of quantum mechanics, and take advantage of the “quantum” (quantum “(quantum” (quantum “(quantum” (quantum “bits) to make complex accounts more quickly than traditional computers. Applications may include drug detection, encryption and security, and Amnesty International.

Building quantum chips that can work with reduced errors – one of the factors of quantum computing now – will be essential in the progress of quantum computing in general.

OCELOT was developed in partnership with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) And merge the small silicone chips (in the image above) stacked on top of each other. The company says the design of the chip can reduce the costs associated with error correction by up to 90 %.

“Through modern developments in quantum research, it is no longer related, but when the practical quantum computers with errors will be available for applications in the real world,” AWS director told Quantum hardware, OSKAR PAINTER, in a statement.
