Core advantage 1: Free Hamiltonian design
The evolution of photons in a three-dimensional photonic quantum chip can be represented by the Hamiltonian:
The parameter β can be modulated by adjusting the transmission characteristics of the waveguide, the coupling coefficient C can be flexibly manipulated through the geometrical relationship between the optical waveguides, and the flight dimension of the light in the waveguide can represent the evolution time and introduce dynamic modulation. Through the long-term technical accumulation in the design and preparation of 3D optical quantum chips, Turing Quantum can realize free, rich, precise and dynamic control of the Hamiltonian, so as to perform various special optical quantum computing and quantum simulation tasks. Promote the research and development of large-scale quantum information processing related to light.
Core advantage 2: A large number of intractable problems are mapped onto photonic quantum chips to form solvable solutions
With the technical ability and confidence to control complex Hamiltonians, Turing Quantum is further committed to bringing efficient solutions on the chip through Hamiltonian mapping for various intractable problems.
For the NP-Complete problems that are difficult to solve directly by classical computers, for the exploration of cutting-edge science, and for the difficulties and pain points of different industries, Turing Quantum focuses on flexibly mapping such problems to the three-dimensional photonic circuit of the photonic quantum chip, finding Hardware implementation solutions for optical quantum computing. From the construction of quantum and non-logic gates to subsets and problem solving, from electron transitions outside the nucleus to particle evolution near the horizon of cosmic black holes, from quantum walks to neural network associative memories, from 3D crystal structures to complex fractal networks, no matter how complex these problems are Changeable, can essentially extract the Hamiltonian that describes them, and build the corresponding structure on the three-dimensional photonic chip.
