Duality designs and manufactures photonic processors that redefine computing for the 21st Century. Rapid reactions and fast networking are needed to correct errors and to entangle states for quantum computing. Using high-speed photonics that natively moves data, Duality’s processors are an efficient path toward fault tolerant quantum computing. If you want to learn more, then connect with us.
Quantum Computing will let us study nature at its smallest scale and discover new ways to produce energy and materials, but building quantum hardware is difficult. Unavoidable errors must be corrected before they ruin the algorithm, and many modules need to be networked to achieve impactful quantum computing power. Duality are building photonic processors that rapidly correct errors, are naturally suited to networking, and are a path to transformational quantum computing.
The particles of our universe are quantum, get entangled, and exist in superpositions, but we do not experience this behaviour in our everyday classical world. Particles randomly flip, interact with the environment, decohere, and become part of our familiar surroundings. A quantum computer must suppress decoherence by isolating quantum systems from the environment, rapidly correct quantum errors, then connect and grow fault tolerant quantum states.
Using photons to process quantum information solves some of these challenges. Photons avoid decoherence because they are neutral, massless, and do not readily interact with their environment or with each other. Logic gates work by detecting and rerouting photons, but photon detectors only require moderate cryogenic cooling. And because photons natively move data, a modular architecture of photonic chips is easy to network using optical fibres.
Built in TFLN for fast photonic logic, Duality’s processors are compact and operate in rugged cryostats that connect to form an efficient architecture for quantum computing. Networking Duality’s processors with existing high-performance computing will allow quantum and classical modelling of atomic and molecular dynamics, and chemical and nuclear reactions. Networking to the wider world will allow photonic quantum computing to operate at the convergence of sensing, communications, and AI, and will make it accessible to researchers and innovators.
The need for quantum computing will become more urgent as technologies that engineer at the molecular and atomic scale become more sophisticated. Quantum computers will be needed to guide the design of more efficient fuel production, clean energy generation, and material development. What further applications will follow when quantum computing is open to tomorrow’s creative minds, what lies beyond the quantum frontier, what dreams may come, is awaiting our discovery.
