One challenge in building a large-scale <a href=\"https:\/\/news.mit.edu\/2020\/explained-quantum-engineering-1210\">quantum computer<\/a> is that researchers must find an effective way to interconnect quantum <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/tags\/information\/\" rel=\"tag\" class=\"\">information<\/a> nodes\u2014smaller-scale processing nodes separated across a computer chip. Because quantum computers are fundamentally different from classical computers, conventional techniques used to communicate electronic information do not directly translate to quantum devices. However, one requirement is certain: Whether via a classical or a quantum interconnect, the carried information must be transmitted and received.<\/p>\n<p>To this end, MIT researchers have developed a quantum computing architecture that will enable extensible, high-fidelity communication between superconducting quantum processors. In work published in <i>Nature Physics<\/i>, MIT researchers demonstrate step one, the deterministic emission of single photons\u2014information carriers\u2014in a user-specified direction. Their method ensures quantum information flows in the correct direction more than 96 percent of the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum computers hold the promise of performing certain tasks that are intractable even on the world\u2019s most powerful supercomputers.
