Directional Couplers Reimagined
All steps of photonic quantum computation require directional couplers that allow light to pass between two waveguide. It is key to creating the initial state, performing the calculation itself and measuring the resulting state.
Legacy Design
Quantum computing is very sensitive to errors. Above a certain threshold the PQC can not function, and it always requires a huge amount of overhead to correct the errors.
Even one nanometer error in fabrication of the directional couplers is enough to create a logical error that can cripple a PQC.
Patented design
By applying a mathematical concept called Composited Pulses to integrated photonics we are able to reduce the physical error in the directional couplers.
Same fabrication process error – more accurate couplers and calculation.
Rethink Scale
Photonic Quantum Computers require scale in order to be useful. One million physical qubits working together to correct the errors are required for the minimal viable computer of 100 fault tolerant qubits (“FTQ”).
By reducing the number of physical qubits required per FTQ tenfold or accelerating the computer speed by a similar factor, we provide the builders of PQCs the ability to reduce manufacturing, cooling and networking requirements and potentially save $900M out of the projected $1B cost per PQC.
Quantum Pulse patented technology can be integrated into any photonic quantum computer architecture, which can then realize one to two orders of magnitude improvement in speed, size or cost of the computer, greatly impacting time to market.
I have seen many technologies trying to address the gap between theory and practice in quantum computing and was excited by the potential of Quantum Pulse Ventures technology to bridge this gap.
