Mechanical qubits can address the issues of quantum error and shorter lifetime in virtual qubits (those made using electromagnetics) that hinder realising the potential of Quantum Computers.
- Qubits (Quantum bits), used by quantum computers used to encode data, exhibit high sensitivity and may cause calculation errors referred as quantum errors.
- Traditional computers use bits (either o or 1) for information storage.
- This quantum error may worsen as the size of quantum computers increases.
About Quantum Computers
- Based on Quantum Mechanics: Quantum mechanics describe how subatomic particles behave differently from macrolevel physics.
- Quantum mechanics explains how extremely small objects simultaneously have the characteristics of both particlesand waves (a disturbance or variation that transfers energy). Physicists call this the “wave-particle duality.”
- Utilises two key principles of quantum physics:
- Superposition: Each qubit can represent both 1 and 0 simultaneously.
- Entanglement (i.e., correlation of qubits): Qubits in a superposition can be correlated with each other; i.e., the state of one (whether it is a 1 or a 0) can depend on the state of another.
