AWS announced on Thursday a new quantum computing chip called Ocelot. The company claims that compared to current approaches, the chip can reduce the costs of implementing quantum error correction by up to 90%. The company uses a novel design for the chip’s architecture using ‘cat qubits’ as an ode to Schrödinger’s thought experiment. AWS said cat qubits intrinsically suppress certain errors, reducing the resources required for quantum error correction. The company revealed that Ocelot is still a prototype.
