Scientists of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission have discovered that quantum computing may require less memory than previously thought. This in turn makes quantum computers easier to make a reality for everyday people. The researchers breakthrough in quantum memory comes from the arrangement of qubits which comprise the physical memory. They focused on developing a three dimensional arrangement as opposed to the traditional two dimensions. The new approach to memory has demonstrated the ability to perform benchmark mathematical tasks at a fraction of the time.
Key Takeaways:
- During the research that Gouzien conducted with Sangouard, they found that quantum computers could process 2048-bit RSA with 13,436 qubits.
- Due to the large amount of RSA’s that these qubit-built quantum computers can work with, researchers are claiming that they are one of the most promising technologies in quantum physics.
- The two physicists determined how promising qubits were by organizing them into a 2D format.
“In their work, Gouzien and Sangouard instead considered a 2D grid of qubits connected to a quantum memory that is organized in 3D.”
