It was only in the 1960s that silicon was established as the primarily resource of semiconductors, the most fundamental component of digital computers. Without this discovery, we wouldn\u2019t have the technology and connectivity we rely on today.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the newspaper Folha de S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a> (2025), quantum computing is still far from reaching its own “silicon moment.” Despite intensive efforts from major tech companies, there is still no established ideia on how to produce qubits, the basic elements of quantum computers. This lack of standardization is a reminder of the long journey ahead for quantum computing.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for Amazon, they introduced cat qubits, a tribute to Schr\u00f6dinger’s Cat<\/a>\u2014 an experiment that suggests a cat locked inside a box could be both alive and dead simultaneously. The company’s new technology aims to develop more error-resistant qubits, reducing the problem of “noise” that disrupts quantum calculations. With this advancement, quantum computers could scale up without requiring an excessive number of qubits for error correction.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what is Quantum Computing?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Quantum computing is a new processing model that leverages principles of quantum mechanics to solve problems that are impossible (or time-consuming) for classical computers. Instead of traditional bits, which are either 0 or 1, quantum computers use qubits, which can be in multiple states at the same time. This means enhances processing power for specific applications.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is becoming more accessible, not only locked to academic research and laboratories, so that is the time to start exploring this new frontier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
