Optical quantum chips are real.
In February 2021, our national scientific researchers published relevant papers in world scientific journals, which attracted widespread attention from various countries. It is reported that the chips currently used around the world are mainly manufactured on the surface of semiconductor wafers and are miniaturized integrated circuits. The new optical quantum computing chip mentioned in the paper mainly uses micro-nano processing technology to integrate a large number of optical quantum devices on a single chip.
Advantages of optical quantum chips
Many experts believe that photons are faster and consume less energy than electrons, so once optical quantum chips can be successfully developed, their performance will be Stronger than ordinary electronic chips. The most important thing is that the development and production of optical quantum chips does not rely on high-end Western lithography machines. This also means that once this technology is successfully developed and becomes successful, we will completely break the situation of being stuck by the West. Even in this field, and even in the future global chip market, we can have an advantage.
