Quandela has achieved a major breakthrough in photonic quantum computing by reducing the number of components needed for fault-tolerant calculations by 100,000 times. This advancement, detailed in a recent scientific paper, utilizes a hybrid approach that combines semiconductor quantum emitters to efficiently generate photonic qubits. This method significantly lowers resource requirements, needing only 12 components to create a logical qubit, compared to nearly one million in traditional methods. Additionally, Quandela’s quantum computers are projected to consume less than 1MW of power, marking a crucial step toward the industrialization of scalable, energy-efficient quantum computing.
