The researchers used the chip to demonstrate a \"quantum random walk,\" the core of an algorithm that simulates quantum computing. Jin Xianmin said that when the quantum evolution system is large enough and flexible enough to design its structure, it can achieve a variety of algorithms and computing tasks, and perform far better than traditional computers.
Unlike general quantum computing, analog quantum computing can directly build quantum systems without relying on complex quantum error correction like general quantum computing, and once the quantum physical system that can be prepared and controlled reaches a new scale, it can be directly used to explore new physics and promote absolute computing power far beyond that of traditional computers on specific problems.
