Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled Ocelot, its first quantum computing chip, designed to significantly improve quantum error correction. Developed at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing at Caltech, Ocelot reduces error correction costs by up to 90% using innovative cat qubits, named after Schrödinger’s cat.
The chip integrates superconducting materials and high-quality oscillators to enhance stability. AWS scientists believe Ocelot marks a crucial step toward scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing, pushing the field beyond laboratory experiments. While still a prototype, AWS plans further engineering refinements to drive quantum computing into practical applications.
