Preliminary research shows that silicon can be used to create some of the most stable and long-lived qubits in the industry. Research by scientists from Simon Fraser University proves that T-centers can provide “photonic communication” between qubits.

This work is the first measurement of single T-centers in insulation, and indeed the first measurement of any single spin in silicon by optical means alone.
– said Stephanie Simmons, one of the project managers.

Combining high-performance spin qubits and photon generation, an emitter such as the T-center is ideal for building scalable, distributed quantum computers because it can provide both computation and communication. There is no need for two separate technologies.

In addition, T-centers have another advantage – they emit light of the same wavelength as modern fiber networks and telecommunications equipment. In this way, it is possible to create quantum processors that can initially communicate with other processors.

Why does humanity need quantum computer systems?

Thanks to quantum computing, humanity can achieve much more than even the use of the most modern supercomputers. Analysts and scientists claim that the use of quantum systems will enable numerous breakthroughs and discoveries in a wide variety of fields, including:

• chemical,
• Material science,
• medicine,
• cyber security and others.

For all of this to become a reality, it is necessary to learn how to obtain stable, long-lived qubits that provide computing power and the communication technology that enables these qubits to exchange information on a large scale.
