Inherent properties of photons in light are used for encoding information as quantum bits into a light beam by digitizing patterns of the electromagnetic field. “Squeezing” light is used to reduce errors from light waves during quantum computation. Researchers in Japan have developed a theoretical model that uses both the properties of quantum bits and the modes of the electromagnetic field in which they exist. The approach involves squeezing light by removing error-prone quantum bits when quantum bits cluster together. According to the researchers this model is 10 billion times more tolerant to errors than current experimental methods, meaning that it tolerates up to one error every 10,000 calculations… read more.
