Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have made a breakthrough in quantum computing by successfully implementing a complete optical readout of superconducting qubits. This innovative approach promises to enable the development of more robust, scalable, room-temperature, and cost-effective quantum computers.

Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology in Austria have achieved a major milestone in quantum computing after obtaining a complete optical readout of superconducting qubits.This will help in building scalable quantum computers that are robust, operate at room temperature, and at a much lower cost, a press release said. Quantum computers are the next frontier of computing, allowing calculations to occur at exponential rates compared to classical computers.

While this makes them ideal for qubit readouts, the challenge is communicating between these two and translating the optical signals to qubits and back. Representative image of a fiber optic network.
