Chinese Scientists Develop Photonic Quantum Analog Computing Chip (sciencemag.org) 55
hackingbear writes from a report via Xinhua: Chinese scientists demonstrated the first two-dimensional quantum walks of single photons in real spatial space, which may provide a powerful platform to boost analog quantum computing. Scientists at Shanghai Jiaotong University reported in a paper published in the journal Science Advances a three-dimensional photonic chip with a scale up to 49x49 nodes, by using a technique called femtosecond direct writing. Universal quantum computers, under develop by IBM, Google, Alibaba and other American and Chinese rivals, are far from being feasible before error correction and full connections between the increasing numbers of qubits could be realized. In contrast, analog quantum computers, or quantum simulators, can be built in a straightforward way to solve practical problems directly without error correction, and potentially be able to beat the computational power of classical computers in the near future.

Develop? Bullshit. Which country did the Chinese scientists steal this technology from?

Yes, it was stolen-- in a collaborative effort involving, among other countries -- from, say, Austria [insidescience.org], as is the norm for scientific endeavors.
Is China the Leader in Quantum Communications?
Chinese scientists have built two major quantum infrastructure projects, and the race is on to take the next step.

Just like all the otehr times, probably some country that didn't bother exploiting its intellectual property.
If China can build it, more power to them.

You mean because they are Chinese and therefore not able to create? Let me guess... Only white people are able to create things?
It's not the 80's you fucktard and you (the US) is not the best at everything.
China has been dumping billions into quantom computing and green energy. Of course there are going to be advances.. you racist fuck.

They are installing it quickly, but we're inventing it

And designed in the USA or Europe, then made on contract in China.

Photon Torpedoes- If they reverse the polarity of neutrinos in the Photonic Quantum Analog Computing Chip, add some Higgs Bosons, and change Analog to Digital, the chip will produce Photon Torpedoes
Does tinfoil protect against Photon Torpedoes, or do I need to invest in a new hat?

Of course :-)
It is a well know fact that Apple did indeed invent everything.... all that has been invented or will be invented in the future....

I've been looking for a photonic quantum analog chip to put in my transspacial Heisenberg compensator... the femtosecond direct writing will really help improve the harmonic resonance manifold of my transwarp conduit.
Don't forget to install a flux capacitor as well as putting it together with a hydrospanner and a sonic screwdriver. I hear the EPS relays are really hard to align precisely with the a flux capacitor without using a sonic screwdriver. More often than not you will also need to install a tribophysical waveform macro kinetic extrapolator and adjusting it with a cronometer. Remember that you will also need a borg transwarp coil in order to utilize the transwarp conduit. The chinese invented that chip just in

It's for real, analoque quantum computing. It's not even that tough to see. I was out driving with polarized sunglasses after playing with IBMs quantum computer/tutorial, and realized there's a bunch of stuff you could do to help computer vision, just from working with light before digitizing using age old optics stuff derived from QM. You don't need the entire quantum computer to get a massive computational edge for certain things.
