Scientists Propose Blueprint for 'Universal Translator' in Quantum Networks

Scientists create ‘universal translator’ for quantum tech

Scientists at UBC have devised a chip-based device that acts as a "universal translator" for quantum computers, converting delicate microwave signals to optical ones and back with minimal loss and noise. This innovation preserves crucial quantum entanglement and works both ways, making it a potential backbone for a future quantum internet. By exploiting engineered flaws in silicon and using superconducting components, the device achieves near-pe…
