How To Make a Quantum Bit

This episode supported by audible.com: bit.ly/ZJ5Q6z
We have looked at how a transistor works, the fundamental unit of classical computers, and how a quantum computer works in theory, taking advantage of quantum superposition to hold exponentially more information than classical computers. Now we look at the practical side of making a quantum bit, or qubit. How do you put it in a state where it is stable? How do you read and write information on it? These processes are described for a solid state qubit - a phosphorous atom in a silicon crystal substrate. Both the electron and the nucleus of the phosphorous atom can be used as qubits.
Thanks to A/Prof. Andrea Morello: bit.ly/17wZ7lt
Thanks to Henry Reich (MinutePhysics) for pushing me to make the explanations and visualizations clearer.

We can measure single photons and electrons. The magic happens in the fact we can measure it constantly and without fundamentally altering it for continuous use.

[@spiderjuice9874]

It looks a lot like ESR (ie., Electron-Spin Resonance) and 31P-NMR (ie., Phosphorus-31 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) to me - correct me if I'm wrong. ESR is so sensitive that single electron spin events are routinely detected; a single NMR spin-flip event is more impressive, but then again, this NMR event is detected through the ESR signal with its inherently super-dooper sensitivity.

the mind blown part is that we are trying use it to write information.

Turns out they can use a mass spectrometer to filter out other isotopes of silicon. There's no economy of scale available for this; it can only produce silicon-28 very slowly. However, it's more that sufficient for small labs to do their research in both quantity and availability of production. They only need enough silicon to insulate the phosphorus atom from the rest of the equipment.

[@InTheBeginningTheUniverseWas]

Analogy for quantum computers; you could say a quantum computer is like a jumbo jet and a normal computer is a car, because a jumbo jet is really expensive, and not something you'd expect to see in every household. but this analogy isn't perfect because a jumbo jet can carry more people than a car (like 50x more), and can go further. A better analogy is that normal computers are cars, but quantum computers are space shuttles. The quantum computer can take you to space, your car's engine couldn't provide enough energy to take you to space (and obviously cars can't fly). But your space shuttle (quantum computer) isn't good at taking you to the shops, or to your friends house, where as a car is. But also a quantum computer is very expensive and not going to be in everyone's homes.

[@64BitLamp]

Computers costed absurd amounts of money in the early days. It wasn't until the process of manufacturing integrated circuits was nearly perfected that we got the home devices we all know and love today. I would argue that right now we are in the transistor stage for quantum computing. Scientists are dabbling around with the technology (just like how electrical engineers and mathematicians started to envision the early computers). I like to think that eventually new technology could eventually become affordable over time with enough innovation.

[@MrLakeOntario1]

When computers were first developed, people were using light bulbs to represent numbers. Each light bulb represented a number in Base 2. Light Bulb 1 = 1 (2^0) Light Bulb 2 = 2 (2^1) Light Bulb 3 = 8 (2^3) Light Bulb 4 = 16 (2^4)

[@MrLakeOntario1]

If the light is "ON" we give it the color "White" or "W" (in binary On = 1) If the light is "OFF" we give it the color "Black" or "B" (in binary Off = 0)

[@MrLakeOntario1]

During a brown out, the lights aren't quite on or off...they are dim. So now we can represent a number in Base 3. If the light is "ON" we give it the color "White" or "W" (in Base 3 On = 2) If the light is "DIM" we give it the color "Brown" or "D" (in Base 3 Dim = 1) If the light is "OFF" we give it the color "Black" or "B" (in Base 3 Off = 0)

[@MrLakeOntario1]

Designing an electrical switch that is reliably DIM has not been easy. The CUBIT may be that DIM switch that engineers have been looking for.

[@philipmerewood2298]

@@50Lior No you can't send information faster than the speed of light. As soon as you alter the spin of one the entanglement is broken. It doesn't mean if you keep changing the state of one the other will flip accordingly.

[@mrbreakybee]

Nice video, but it would be great to know a bit more. I mean especially for instance what kind of techinque they exactly use? Quantum annealing? I suspect that this quantum transistor works because of the tunneling effect, if so it's very important, and it should have been mentioned in the presentation. How am I supposed to understand the words 2:27 ''what you've created is a special quantum superposition... with a specific face between two superpositions''. I've always thought that the superposition exists only when there is no decoherence=no interactions=no measurements. As far as I know the superposition comes from Schrodingers equation which represents a quantum probability wave, and the only thing we can do with it is to collapse by observing, or if you prefer interact with it. I've really never thought there is a way to create a superposition, so I'm extremely confused right now. When we apply magnetic field to define, or flip electrons' spin theoretically the superposition should wash away. I thought we can take advantage of the superposition only without interacting with the quantum object, but what would be necessary is to have a several entangled let's say electrons, so that when we measure them we can store and use all of the informations which they carried. I really appreciate your, and Prof. Andrea work, because anyway it's still probably one of the best explanations I've come across.

[@philipmerewood2298]

All they are saying is they have something that they know is in a spin down state the magnetic pulse is used to bring it into a spin up state but if they alter the length of pulse then they can control the phase (angle) of the spin between up and down. The superposition is just the change in Angle added to the up or down spin.
