- ETH Zurich quantum chip sees superconducting qubit act as CPU and the vibrational modes of a fingernail-width acoustic resonator serve as quantum RAM
- The approach borrows from classical computer architecture as it completely flips the script on how modern quantum computing might store short-term data
- The team demonstrated a universal gate set and ran small instances of the quantum Fourier transform and period finding
A guitar string essentially stores a note based on how it vibrates, and if one plucks it differently, an entirely different note plays.
