Researchers at the University of Oxford have made a significant advance in quantum teleportation by successfully transmitting logical gates between quantum computers over a distance of more than six feet. They achieved this by using photons to create a shared quantum link between the devices, allowing them to collaborate on computing tasks. This breakthrough may provide solutions to the scalability challenges faced in quantum computing, moving away from the need for bulky singular machines and instead enabling data transfer among smaller units, which could lead to the development of practical quantum computers in the future.
This is the first instance of quantum gates - the base level components of algorithms - being teleported over long distances, allowing quantum processors to collaborate remotely.
The breakthrough may solve the 'scalability problem' related to constructing quantum computers, enabling data transfer between smaller devices instead of needing one large machine.
Qubits, which replace traditional bits, can exist in multiple states simultaneously, offering the potential for dramatically increased processing speeds in future computers.
Our research demonstrates that quantum teleportation can enable logical operations between quantum computers, marking a significant advancement in the field of quantum computing.
