Quantum computers must be cooled to extremely low temperatures to minimize vibrations and prevent errors.
So far, chip-based systems have been limited to inefficient and slow cooling methods.
Now, a team of researchers at MIT and MIT Lincoln Laboratory has implemented a much faster and more energy-efficient method for cooling photonic chip-based quantum computers.
Their approach achieved cooling to about 10 times below the limit of standard laser cooling.
Key to this te…
