Humans have achieved the instant transmission of information without any physical connection.
Isn’t that Bluetooth? Or Wi-Fi?
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or any other wireless technology makes use of physical waves to transmit data. These waves might not be visible to the human eye but they do exist physically.
On top of this, all modes of data transmission have a transmission time (apart from the network latency and other factors). They are never instant.
Researchers from Oxford University have achieved quantum teleportation of logical gates.
One of the biggest problems of quantum computing is scaling - quantum bits or qubits become increasingly unstable in larger systems.
It is important to note that this is NOT the first time quantum teleportation has been achieved but it is the first time logical gates have been teleported.
This discovery can be the foundational proof that a quantum internet can be created - an internet where information transfer would be nearly instant and virtually completely secure from any man-in-the-middle attacks.
Previous demonstrations of quantum teleportation have focused on transferring quantum states between physically separated systems.
In our study, we use quantum teleportation to create interactions between these distant systems. By carefully tailoring these interactions, we can perform logical quantum gates – the fundamental operations of quantum computing – between qubits housed in separate quantum computers.
This breakthrough enables us to effectively 'wire together' distinct quantum processors into a single, fully-connected quantum computer.
Our experiment demonstrates that network-distributed quantum information processing is feasible with current technology.
Scaling up quantum computers remains a formidable technical challenge that will likely require new physics insights as well as intensive engineering effort over the coming years.
This is a huge scientific leap but it will require years of connected building blocks to show its results. Some 20 years from now we’ll have the word “quantum” everywhere.
Read the complete study published in Nature here.
I will soon write a detailed blog on what quantum teleportation is and how it can help build our future.
