I left off with tubes and the early days of transistors. Still had IBM key cards. Only semi have kept up with advancements. But the tubes were so great and understandable.
Go Boilers!
“Typically, gates built on photonic platforms to manipulate quantum information encoded in separate photons work only some of the time because photons naturally don’t interact with each other very well, making it extremely difficult to manipulate the state of one photon based on the state of another. “”
Photons must learn to play together. I suggest doubling the qudit count within the space by a factor of 24 to the 6th power. If that doesn’t work, blame Deutsch’s algorithm, erase the board and go out for margaritas.
The logic charts look just like the ones that had tubes implementing them. Just hundreds of thousands or Millions of them in one circuit.
Maybe, but WalMart has them on sale this week for 50 percent off with a coupon.
We could have done deep learning neural networks AI in the sixties but it would have taken the electric power of the city of Cleveland. And finding the one bad tube would have been a bXXch.
The research is interesting from the standpoint of being able to exploit the photons multiple independent degrees of freedom and complex amplitudes at the same time for holding information. As the authors state in the paper though, they can only resolve these quidits 90% of the time so it doesn’t seem like it has any practical uses at least at this point.
We need more fotomats.
Jet wait for Hilbert Space 2.0. They’ll run like a dream.
Is the gate operational...have they teleported real info? If one could hack the sending unit...you might instantly know the message...no?
Is that kind of like a tire with a "2-ply, 4-ply rating"?
if they can build this stuff, why can't they show us a picture of it???
Did you just assume that photon ‘s quantum state?
My mother started her career wiring tubes with Western Electric. Ended with AT&T and printed circuit boards. With her persuasion, I got into the biz now doing 5nm layout. In her elder years she likes to ask me “Are they still making them smaller and smaller?”. Yes they are Mom.
That technology changed REAL FAST!Good that you and your mother kept up with it.
