Scientists have created "the purest silicon in the world", which can be used to build high -performance quantum equipment

IT House on May 9th, the University of Manchester cooperated with the University of Melbourne to create aSuper pure siliconIt can be used to create high -energy quantum bit devices for scalable quantum computers. This research results are published in the latest issue of “Nature · Communication Materials” magazine. Innovation News Network is called “the purest silicon in the world”.

Natural silicon is composed of three different quality isotopes-Silicon-28, Silicon-29 and Silicon-30.Among them, the silicon-29 accounts for 5%of silicon, which will cause “Nuclear Flip-Flopping” effect, resulting in quantum bit loss information.This study has found the method of removal of silicon-29 and silicon-30Large -scaleAs well asHigh accuracyMake the perfect material of quantum computers.

Ravi Acharya, a doctoral researcher engaged in experimental work in this project, explained: “The biggest advantage of silicon quantum computing is that the chip in the manufacture of electronic chips (currently the chip in the computer has from billions to tens of billions of billionsThe technology composed of individual transistors can also be used to make quantum bits of silicon quantum equipment. “

Professor David Jamieson of the University of Melbourne and the University of Melbourne, said: “Our technology has opened a way for reliable quantum computers.Logistics and manufacturing have brought step -type changes to the entire society. “

He also said that their next step will prove that it can maintain the quantum coherent of many quantum bits at the same time.A reliable quantum computer with only 30 quantum bites in certain applications will exceed today’s supercomputers.
