A team at Oxford University successfully networked together two quantum processors using optical fiber and quantum teleportation. This breakthrough could help solve quantum computing’s ‘scalability problem,

Physicists at the University of Oxford have taken a significant step toward solving one of the most daunting challenges in quantum computing: how to connect multiple quantum processors to work together seamlessly.

In a groundbreaking use of teleportation, critical units of a quantum processor have been successfully spread across multiple computers, proving the potential of distributing quantum modules without compromising on their performance.

Instead of transistors, like traditional computers, quantum computers use qubits. Qubits potentially allow for more options than the on/off of transistors, facilitating far more complex calculations.

Scientists claim to have made a stunning breakthrough in the quest to unlock quantum teleportation. If rolled out, quantum technology could solve problems far beyond the capabilities of traditional computers.
