Amazon Debuts Its First Quantum Computing Chip
Amazon has debuted Ocelot, its first quantum computing chip. Using scalable architecture, the chip is said to reduce error correction by up to 90% and accelerate the development of quantum computing applications.
This chip symbolizes a significant advancement in the ongoing quest for developing computers that are resistant to faults and exceed the problem-solving abilities of contemporary technology. Unlike today’s computers, which function using digital values ranging from 0 to 9, quantum computers utilize fundamental particles like protons or electrons to create quantum bits and perform calculations at a speed that exponentially surpasses current technology.
The Amazon Web Services team created Ocelot, a tool specifically designed for Quantum Computing, at the California Institute of Technology. This unveiling comes after several cloud-based competitors revealed their quantum chips recently, such as Microsoft’s Majorana and Google’s Willow.
“With the recent advancements in quantum research, it is no longer a matter of if, but when practical, fault-tolerant quantum computers will be available for real-world applications. Ocelot is an important step on that journey,” said Oskar Painter, AWS director of Quantum Hardware in a statement. “In the future, quantum chips built according to the Ocelot architecture could cost as little as one-fifth of current approaches, due to the drastically reduced number of resources required for error correction. Concretely, we believe this will accelerate our timeline to a practical quantum computer by up to five years.”
