New silicon chip in development
Researchers have devised a penny-sized silicon chip that uses photons to run Shor’s algorithm – a well-known quantum approach – to solve a maths problem. The algorithm computes the two numbers that multiply together to form a given figure, and has until now required laboratory-sized optical computers. This kind of factoring is the basis for a wide variety of encryption schemes. The work, reported in Science, is rudimentary but could easily be scaled up to handle more complex computing. Shor’s algorithm and the factoring of large numbers has been a particular case used to illustrate the power of quantum computing.
Very cool, an interesting read, I’m off to check out more information, I wonder what uses the chip could be put to.
