Rubidium-based quantum computers revolutionize performance

0

Quantum computing has long held the promise of revolutionizing computational capabilities, but the field has faced significant hurdles, particularly in error rates and the need for extreme cooling. However, a breakthrough reported in the journal ‘Nature‘ by researchers from various US universities brings us a new era in quantum computing. The team, led by Dolev Bluvstein, showcases a quantum processor utilizing rubidium atoms, a departure from the conventional superconducting qubits. This innovation not only promises heightened performance but also eliminates the need for tedious cooling processes. In this article, let’s dive into discussing the latest breakthrough i.e. Rubidium-based quantum computer.

Rubidium-based Quantum Computer: Overview

Transitioning Away from Superconducting Qubits:

Traditionally, quantum chips have employed superconducting qubits, necessitating helium cooling to near absolute zero. This poses practical challenges and limits the scalability of quantum computers. In contrast, the rubidium-based quantum computer operates efficiently at room temperature, significantly departing from the stringent cooling requirements of existing quantum computing technologies.

Leveraging Laser-Cooled Atoms for Efficient Photon Interconversion

Rubidium-based quantum computers harness the unique properties of laser-cooled rubidium atoms to facilitate the conversion between photons with vastly different energies. Furthermore, the valence electrons of these atoms transition between energy levels, compensating for energy differences and enabling the creation of a network of quantum computers. Placing laser-cooled rubidium atoms inside a resonator acts as a photon trap, fostering more interactions and efficient interconversion.

Dressing Up Rubidium for Fascinating Computations:

Researchers have achieved a remarkable transformation with ultracold rubidium atoms, compelling them to act like point-like charged particles. This opens up possibilities for peculiar forms of computation, drawing parallels to the cyclotron motions of electrons in a magnetic field. The ability to manipulate rubidium atoms in this manner provides physicists with valuable insights into potential advancements in quantum computing.

Rubidium-based quantum computer

Super-Sized Atoms and Brain-Inspired Algorithms:

Simulations involving a quantum computer composed of six rubidium atoms suggest the capability to run brain-inspired algorithms. This hints at the potential of rubidium-based quantum computers to delve into complex computations, showcasing this groundbreaking technology’s versatility and other applications.

Reducing Susceptibility to Errors:

Quantum computers have historically with error correction, required a large number of physical qubits to calculate a ‘logical’ qubit. The Nature study reports a substantial improvement in error correction efficiency, measured as ‘code distance.’ The rubidium-based quantum computer is one step closer to tackling tasks deemed too complex for conventional computers, as they continue to evolve and mature.

Rubidium-based quantum computing

Rubidium-based Quantum Computer: Conclusion

Rubidium-based quantum computers have emerged as a game-changer in the realm of quantum computing. By harnessing the distinctive properties of rubidium atoms, these processors overcome challenges in photon interconversion efficiency and error susceptibility. The advent of room-temperature quantum computing signifies a crucial moment in unlocking the full potential of quantum capabilities. As research advances, rubidium-based quantum computers are set to redefine computational power boundaries, heralding a new era of technological advancement.

Samsung Galaxy A15 makes its debut with Helio G99 chipset!

The Samsung Galaxy A-lineup are one of the most popular offerings from Samsung. The South Korean tech giant has now launched the 2023 update for their highest-selling phone — the Samsung Galaxy A14 (4G). In this article, we will discuss the Samsung Galaxy A15, its detailed specifications, expected price in Nepal, and so on.

Samsung Galaxy A15 Overview

Design and Display

Samsung recently has been adopting a single design pattern for its Galaxy series of phones. As such, it features a vertical camera line-up while featuring the company logo on the bottom half of the back. Meanwhile, this time around Samsung has introduced something called a “key island”. It is a slight elevation on the right side of the frame and features the volume rockers and power button/fingerprint sensor.

Samsung Galaxy A15 Key Island

On the front, we are getting a 6.5” Super AMOLED with a U-shaped waterdrop camera cutout. It is also an FHD+ screen with a 1,080 x 2,340 pixels resolution. In the meantime, it offers a 90Hz refresh rate alongside a peak brightness of 800 nits and a Vision Booster feature. The Galaxy A15 ships in four different colours: Personality Yellow, Fantasy Blue, Optimistic Blue, and Black.

Performance

This is where the Samsung Galaxy A15 LTE variant differs from its 5G counterpart. Under the hood, the A15 LTE has opted for the MediaTek Helio G99 instead of its homegrown Exynos chipset. This MediaTek SoC is an octa-core processor built on a 6nm fabrication process offering a peak clock speed of 2.2 GHz. We can also say that this chipset is a budget gaming processor with 20 gaming performance points as per NanoReview.

Mediatek Helio G99 4G Chipset

In the meantime, the Samsung Galaxy A15 will ship in two configurations, those being 8 GB + 128 GB, and 8 GB + 256 GB. Furthermore, it offers storage expansion up to 1TB via a MicroSD card. On the software front, it will ship with the One UI 6.0 based on Android 14. Lastly, Samsung is offering 4 versions of system updates and 5 years of security updates with the Galaxy A15.

Camera and the rest

We already had leaks on what the cameras on the Samsung Galaxy A15 would be, and I must say it checks out. The phone features a 50MP primary camera with autofocus. It is coupled with a 5MP ultrawide unit and a 2MP auxiliary unit. We were assuming the auxiliary unit to be a depth sensor but it turns out to be a macro lens. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy A15 will feature a 13MP shooter on the front.

Powering this smartphone is a 5,000 mAh battery with 25W fast charging capabilities. It will offer wireless connectivity with dual-band WiFi, 4G cellular connectivity, and Bluetooth. Similarly, it will also offer wired connectivity via USB Type-C and 3.5mm headphone jack.
