The first operating system has been created for the quantum network

The quantum computer became easy to connect with each other, as researchers have created the first operating system for the quantum network.

“You do not make a quantum network useful by building only hardware,” says Stephanie Vehner At the University of Technology in Netherlands. He has long worked on adding quantum computers to the network that will allow them to exchange the information very safely and run the calculation in new ways, but it requires understanding the technical policy of each device involved. Together with his colleagues, Vahner has now developed a way to operate the quantum network more universally.

The operating system that has been formed is software that can be to control the equipment within the quantum network, whether the type of Qables, or the quantum bits, regardless of the types of Qables, which make them. Controlling such devices becomes more difficult than the fact that the network quantum computers receive traditional signals from classical computers along with both quantum information from other quantum computers that help the interface with them.

To show that their operating system, called Qnodeos, can handle both, researchers tested it with two different types of quantum computers and several different functions. He used two quantum computers made of exclusively processed diamonds, and another electric charged atoms. With these two types of quantum hardware, researchers run a test program for representative quantum computing similar to using their laptops to calculate in the cloud. He also tested the ability of QNODEOS to handle multitasking by running two programs at a time.

He says that “Once you start taking the idea of ​​building a general-objective quantum network seriously, there is a lot of work ends there”, and this new operating system leads to a long list of things to develop further, such as rooting protocols.

WEHNER says that developing Qnodeos has been like pulling a color page – they have underlined all shapes and will now be difficult to color them all. For example, Kama questioned to write a scheduling program for the quantum network. “It was not on my radar even before, but now I am very excited about it,” she says.
