NASA’s PEACOQ Quantum Detector Achieves World-Leading Milestone A new JPL- and Caltech-developed detector could transform how quantum computers, located thousands of miles apart, exchange huge quantities of quantum data. Quantum computers hold the promise of operating millions of times faster th
Quantum computers hold the promise of operating millions of times faster than conventional computers. But to communicate over long distances, quantum computers will need a dedicated quantum communications network.’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Caltech that can count huge numbers of single photons – quantum particles of light – with incredible precision.
This photograph shows several PEACOQ detectors shortly after they’d been printed on a silicon wafer. The inset image shows the detail of a single PEACOQ. Each PEACOQ detector is a little smaller than a dime.
