Silicon transistors, the building block of electronic devices, cannot shrink much further without being rendered inoperable by quantum mechanics. However, this presents a tremendous opportunity. If we harness quantum mechanics, rather than avoid it, we could accomplish certain computational tasks that would otherwise be forever unrealistic. Research at SFU has shown that, incredibly, the very atomic defects preventing smaller transistors lead to the best candidate quantum bits, or qubits, for quantum computing. Dr. Simmons aims to link these excellent atomic qubits with photon qubits a hybrid solution that paves the way for silicon to once again revolutionize the information age.

硅晶体管是电子设备的基石，如果不被量子力学破坏，它就无法进一步缩小。然而，这是一个巨大的机会。如果我们利用量子力学，而不是回避它，我们就可以完成某些计算任务，否则这些任务将永远是不现实的。SFU的研究表明，令人难以置信的是，阻止更小晶体管的原子缺陷导致了量子计算的最佳候选量子位或量子位。西蒙斯博士的目标是将这些优秀的原子量子比特与光子量子比特联系起来，这是一种混合解决方案，为硅再次彻底改变信息时代铺平了道路。
