3 statements about Quantum Processor, every show
Cordova: Quantum processors yield different answers on every execution run
“These quantum processors actually give you different answers every time you run them.”
Cordova: Quarter-sized quantum chips require refrigerator-sized cryogenic cooling infrastructure
“The quantum processor is like the size of a quarter. The rest of it's the size of two or three refrigerators to house it and keep it cool at like barely above zero degrees Kelvin.”
Preskill: Quantum repeaters require much smaller processors than computing hard problems
“And so it will require some quantum processing to get that quantum error correction in the quantum repeater to work. But it's a much more modest scale quantum processor than we would need to solve hard problems.”
