Chinese team designs 62-qubit quantum processor with world’s largest number of superconducting qubits
Photo: WeiboA Chinese research team has successfully designed a 62-qubit programmable superconducting quantum processor, naming it Zu Chongzhi after the noted 5th century Chinese mathematician and astronomer. The computer contains the largest number of superconducting qubits so far in the world, and achieved two-dimensional programmable quantum walks on the system, a major milestone in the field. Experts said the study pushes the possibility of universal quantum computing through a two-dimensional quantum walk a big step forward. The study was conducted by a research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and was published Friday in Science magazine, one of the top academic journals in the world.The team designed and produced an 8x8 two-dimensional square superconducting qubit array composed of 62 functional qubits...
