Ucwaningo lwe-laser yokuguqulwa kombala wesikali se-chip luyathuthuka futhi lusetshenziswe kubuchwepheshe be-quantum

Ama-chips abe yindima ebalulekile empilweni nasemsebenzini wabantu, futhi umphakathi awukwazi ukuthuthuka ngaphandle kobuchwepheshe be-chip. Ososayensi futhi baqhubeka nokwenza ngcono ukusetshenziswa kwama-chips kubuchwepheshe be-quantum.

Ezifundweni ezimbili ezintsha, abacwaningi ku-National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) basanda kuthuthukisa ngendlela emangalisayo ukusebenza kahle namandla ochungechunge lwemishini ye-chip-scale engakhiqiza imibala ehlukene yokukhanya kwe-laser kuyilapho isebenzisa umthombo we-laser wokufaka ofanayo.

Ubuchwepheshe obuningi be-quantum, okuhlanganisa amawashi amancane e-athomu kanye namakhompyutha e-quantum esikhathi esizayo, budinga ukufinyelela ngesikhathi esisodwa emibaleni ye-laser ehlukahlukene, ehlukahlukene phakathi kwendawo encane. Isibonelo, zonke izinyathelo ezidingekayo edizayini ye-quantum computing esekelwe ku-athomu zidinga imibala ye-laser efika kweyisithupha ehlukene, okuhlanganisa ukulungisa ama-athomu, ukuwapholisa, ukufunda izimo zawo zamandla, kanye nokwenza imisebenzi ye-quantum logic.Umbala othize okhiqizwayo uyanqunywa ngosayizi we-microresonator kanye nombala we-laser yokufaka. Njengoba ama-microresonator amaningi anosayizi abahluke kancane akhiqizwa phakathi nenqubo yokwenziwa, indlela yokwenza ihlinzeka ngemibala ephumayo eminingi ku-chip eyodwa, yonke esebenzisa i-laser efanayo yokufaka.
