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组成部分，如果进一步缩小，就会因量子力学而变得无法工作。然而，这提供了一个巨大的机会。如果我们利用而不是回避量子力学，我们就可以完成某些永远不现实的计算任务。 SFU 的研究表明，令人难以置信的是，正是原子缺陷阻碍了晶体管变小，从而产生了用于量子计算的最佳候选量子位。西蒙斯博士的目标是将这些优秀的原子量子位与光子量子位连接起来，形成一种混合解决方案，为硅再次彻底改变信息时代铺平道路。
