Scientists have created a new chip that includes a superfast quantum computer operating system, in an innovation described as a new revolution in the world of computers that has not occurred since 1960.
Experts are working on the development of super-large quantum computers, which provide high-speed data processing, as everyone is currently focusing on providing these computers with a size commensurate with the size of an ordinary desktop.
According to the article published in the American “redshark” magazine, under the title “Quantum computing just got the size of the desktop”, a group of scientists in a research consortium led by the University of “Cambridge” in the United States, have come up with an operating system in the form of a small chip that includes a quantum supercomputer.
Scientists develop 'transparent' quantum computers (chip)
The article indicated that the new achievement is part of the university's vision of making quantum computers transparent and they named it "RaspberryPi".
In an article on the microchip, Cambridge Independent Press likened this major achievement to an "exciting breakthrough".
An "exciting breakthrough" that hasn't happened since 1960
The university's journal considered that the moment in which this great scientific achievement was revealed is quite similar to the moment when computers shrank in the sixties of the last century from the size of a room to the size of a desktop.
Scientists have so far been able to build about 50 quantum computers, using different systems and software, but there is no Windows system or other available systems equivalent to these quantum computers.
Desktop quantum device..soon in the market
The new project will introduce an operating system that will allow the same quantum program to run on different types of desktop quantum computing devices.
The scientists designed Deltaflow.OS (full name Deltaflow-on-ARTIQ) by a consortium called Cambridge Uni startup Riverlane led by Cambridge University.
The article noted that the new chip, developed by a member of the consortium (SEEQC), uses a small part of the space needed for these previous old devices.
SEEQC is headquartered in the United States, and has a major research and development site in Britain.
"In simpler terms, we put a device that once filled a room on a chip the size of a coin, and it works," Dr. Matthew Hutchings, one of the company's co-founders, said in a press release.
"This is important for the future of quantum computers, allowing them to be produced cost-effectively and on a large scale," he added.
