Insider Brief
- MIT researchers developed a new interconnect device that enables direct communication between multiple superconducting quantum processors, overcoming the limitations of current point-to-point architectures.
- The device uses a superconducting wire, or waveguide, to shuttle microwave photons, allowing quantum information to be transmitted efficiently and supporting scalable, all-to-all connectivity.
- Using this interconnect, the researchers demonstrated remote entanglement, a key step toward building a distributed network of quantum processors, with an absorption efficiency exceeding 60%.
