BOULDER, Colo., April 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ColdQuanta, Riverlane and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, today announced they have successfully run a quantum algorithm on a cold atom qubit array system, codenamed "AQuA," an industry first that brings quantum computing one step closer to real world applications. The milestone was conducted at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the research group led by Prof. Mark Saffman. A paper on the research was published today in Nature, the world's leading multidisciplinary science journal.

Key Points: 
  • Cold atom hyperfine qubits provide inherent scalability due to their identical characteristics, long coherence times, and ability to be trapped in dense multi-dimensional arrays.
  • The team is the first in the world to demonstrate quantum algorithms on a programmable gate model cold atom quantum computer.
  • "This is the first quantum computer using cold atoms with multiple qubits and running quantum algorithms, so it's a significant step forward for the cold atom approach."
  • This starts with breaking through the biggest barrier to quantum computing today: quantum error correction.
