Achieving Reliable Quantum Computing Through Logical Qubits
The Concept of Qubits in Quantum Computing
In quantum computing, a qubit is the fundamental unit of quantum information. Unlike classical bits which can exist in states 0 or 1, a qubit can exist in superposition states, representing 0, 1, or both simultaneously. This unique property allows quantum computers to process vast amounts of data and solve complex problems that are beyond the reach of classical computers.
The Breakthrough: Logical Qubits from Physical Qubits
Our recent breakthrough demonstrates that by grouping multiple physical qubits together, we can create a logical qubit. A logical qubit is designed to mimic the behavior of a single qubit while leveraging the power of many physical qubits. This approach significantly enhances the reliability and computational capabilities of quantum systems.
For instance, by combining 49 physical qubits into a single logical qubit, we achieved superior performance compared to traditional configurations made from just 17 qubits. This advancement paves the way for more robust and scalable quantum computing architectures, paving the way for practical applications in fields such as cryptography, optimization, and drug discovery.
Embracing Generative AI: The Power of PaLM API & MakerSuite
