EXPLAINED: Scientists build most accurate quantum computing chip ever thanks to new silicon based computing architecture | Vintage Vibes

Advanced AI Computer Chip Processors Transmitting Data. Electrical Signals Flowing. Millions of Connections And Signals.

Physicists at Silicon Quantum Computing have developed what they say is the most accurate quantum computing chip ever engineered, after building a new kind of architecture.

Representatives from the Sydney-based startup say their silicon-based, atomic quantum computing chips give them an advantage over other kinds of quantum processing units (QPUs). This is because the chips are based on a new architecture, called "14/15," that places phosphorus atoms in silicon (named as such because they are the 14th and 15th elements in the periodic table). They outlined their findings in a new study published Dec. 17 in the journal Nature.
