“Virtual” Interferometers Could Minimize Size of Optical Processing Circuitry
MELBOURNE, Australia, April 24, 2017 — A novel technique dubbed “measurement-based linear optics” could enable miniaturization of the optical processing circuitry required for quantum computers by using virtual interferometers instead of large-scale physical ones. According to researcher Rafael Alexander, conventional interferometers that comprise hundreds or even thousands of optical elements are essential to implementing fully-functional optical quantum computers. “Measurement-based linear optics
