How capable are modern quantum computers?


The image above this text is M.C Escher's "Ascending and descending" is basing the Penrose stairs. But that drawing is a very good illustration of the superposition. We can think that the walking men are portraying the atoms, what are put in molecular superposition. That means that when the other series of atoms is giving its energy to other series, the individual atoms would rise in the higher energy level, and the others will go to a lower energy level. In this model, the atoms would deliver energy to the other atom, which oscillates at the same frequency.

So that drawing could use to demonstrate the problems of the qubit. When the energy level of the other atoms is rising, they are losing energy at the same time to the structures. Sooner or later the energy of those atoms is ending. And the problem is that the attempt to increase the energy level of those "tired atoms" from outside makes them oscillate, and lose the information that is stored in them. This is the problem with quantum computers. Theoretically, they are ready to work. But the practical solutions are harder to make than researchers ever imagine. 

If we are thinking that a two-atomic molecule is turned to the qubit, the other atom must put in a higher energy level than the other. And then we should read the data that is stored in that molecule. So do you even imagine, what accuracy that thing requires? What is needed to separate data from individual atoms? 

The fact is that quantum computers are in the level of experimental use. That means that there are many things, that the creators of the system must win if they want to make those systems every-day use, or so good and trustable that they can be used in time or mission-critical systems. The problem is that the qubit must be in absolute stable condition, that it would not lose its data. And the superposition of the qubit is possible to make only in the molecular form of atoms. So that thing requires very high accuracy and making that thing in practice is difficult.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low.  The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away.  When the box is filled with quantum gas and som

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material.
