Quantum computing is an exciting emergent field that has a lot of support from both private industry and governments worldwide. China and America are making strides in quantum computing, and industry giants including IBM and Google have joined the race for the future of quantum computing power. Atomic Tweezers are being used to arrange qubit arrays inside of quantum computers for the future of this emerging technology using lasers to arrange particles for entanglement and stability.
Small companies and startups are working on new methods to engineer and operate quantum computers. Individual atomic particles, usually electrons, called “qubits” are used in super cooled systems or vacuum chambers to outperform conventional computers. A quantum computer uses a number of qubits that may become entangled to solve equations faster than conventional computers. IBM and Google have been competing to add more and more qubit particles inside of quantum computers, and stability is becoming an issue. Atomic Tweezers are being trialed to snare particles and entangle them inside of quantum computers to increase the number of qubits inside and direct their arrays.
“Atomic Tweezers” is an up and coming quantum computing technology that uses a laser to trap atoms and entangle them. The laser used in this technique is split, and arrays of qubits and atoms to be used in the quantum computer processer can be entangled to create a more stable quantum computer. A big challenge that IBM and Google have faced while making quantum computers with many qubits is stability, which limits the length of time quantum processing may occur.
The technology behind the atomic tweezer technology has been in work since 1970, and Arthur Ashkin won the 2018 Nobel Prize for this technology. The ability to grab and hold qubits and atoms and create entangled arrays is something that will help scientists and engineers to develop the next generation of quantum computers. Currently, the complexity of arrays creates issues and may lead to instability. IBM and Google are looking to exceed 1,000 qubit quantum computing arrays that will lead the United States to become a quantum computing superpower.
